Win probability is nflverse's model, which starts from the betting line and updates before every snap with the score, the clock, down, distance, field position and timeouts. A swing is the change in one team's chance across a play, in percentage points. The turning point is the play after which the winner never fell to 50% again.
J.Love led the Packers at +7.0 EPA (22 of 30 for 197). T.III led the Buccaneers at +3.2 EPA (2 catches for 25).
