What really happened

Final: Ravens 24, Patriots 28. Patriots won 28-24 — the drive turnover.

Ravens ball, down 4 — they need a touchdown to lead. At their own 32, 2:03 on the clock.

nflverse's historical win-probability estimate for this exact situation was 31.1% for Ravens. Our model starts at 25.0%. The two numbers are estimates, not verdicts — the gap between them is a reminder that endgame win probability is hard to pin down.

The opening call, by win probability

At the first snap, the strongest opening call in our model was Curl route (+1.45 pts), and the weakest was Off-tackle run (-2.53 pts). A positive number means the call improved the offense's expected win probability; a negative number means it cost them.

This is our own model estimate, not the real coach's grade and not a claim about what the “correct” call was. Football decisions depend on the opponent, personnel and game plan — the model only measures how a call changes win probability in this situation.
