Week 8 · 2026Vikings 15 · 19 Lions

139 plays, one strand. Lions won after 4 lead changes; Vikings peaked at 63% to win, Lions at 97%. The white spine is the win probability, every rung a snap: up for DET, down for MIN, as long as the yards it gained.

Bottom line4 lead changes; Vikings peaked at 63% to win, Lions at 97%.

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 Lions win, play by play. High = DET in control, low = MIN 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 DET on offense, down for MIN; the longer the bar, the more yards. The key under the picture explains the marks (touchdown, turnover, field goal, punt).

Key moments

The plays that moved it most

Bottom lineThe biggest swing: play 1, 4.1 expected points against Vikings.

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.
