What really happened

Final: Eagles 17, Commanders 24. Commanders won 24-17 — the drive turned it over on downs.

Eagles ball, down 7 — it takes a touchdown. At their own 35, 2:32 on the clock.

nflverse's historical win-probability estimate for this exact situation was 17.9% for Eagles. Our model starts at 11.2%. The two numbers are estimates, not verdicts — the gap between them is a reminder that endgame win probability is hard to pin down.
