134 plays, one strand. 49ers won after 2 lead changes; 49ers peaked at 100% to win, Rams at 74%. The white spine is the win probability, every rung a snap: up for LAR, down for SF, as long as the yards it gained.

How to read this chart
Read it left to right:
kickoff on the left, final whistle on the right.
The white line
is the chance that Rams win, play by play. High = LAR in control, low = SF in control, the middle is a coin flip. Each crossing of the middle is a change in who was more likely to win.
Each little bar is one play:
up for LAR on offense, down for SF; the longer the bar, the more yards. The key under the picture explains the marks (touchdown, turnover, field goal, punt).

in game order, colored by the team that had the ball.
Inside:
the team, how it ended (TD = touchdown, FG = field goal, INT = interception, FUM = fumble, otherwise punt or downs) and the yards gained. Brighter tiles are drives that scored.

Key moments

The plays that moved it most

Largest swings in expected points

Bottom lineThe biggest swing: play 1, 4.6 expected points against 49ers.

How to read this chart
The strip is the game clock;
each numbered dot is one of the plays below, placed when it happened and colored by the team on offense.
EP (expected points)
is how many points the play added to (+) or took away from (−) the offense's expected score. +3.5 EP is worth more than a field goal; big minus numbers are usually turnovers.

Sliding Doors

The one play that could have changed it

How to read this chart
The line is win probability
over the game (top = home team ahead). The dot marks the one play that could have gone either way; the big % is the losing team's chance right after it.
Press Flip it
to see where that chance would have gone if the play had gone the other way. Only that instant is priced: the rest of the game never happened.
