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. The model does not hold together under the current overtime rules, so the chart covers regulation and overtime shows its scoring plays.
J.Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks at +11.5 EPA (12 catches for 134). R.Harvey led the Broncos at +4.4 EPA (6 carries for 25).
