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.
M.Brown led the Eagles at +2.5 EPA (2 catches for 17). T.Burks led the Commanders at +4.7 EPA (3 catches for 81).
