Note
The model against the market, the momentum underneath, every drive — scrub to replay it
The model and the market were 9.8 win-probability points apart on the average play, and 17 apart at the widest — with the model the more convinced about Titans.
(2:25) (Shotgun) 17-R.Tannehill pass short middle to 15-N.Westbrook-Ikhine for 4 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

How the points landed
Nick Folk's 41-yard field goal with 5:06 left in overtime put Tennessee Titans ahead for good. It was the last score of the day.

Down-to-down truth
Titans ahead 5–2 on categories, including the biggest gap of the duel — third-down rate.
Expected points added, per play
The centre line is an average play. A bar to the right of it is a side that gained more than the situation was worth; a bar to the left is a side that lost ground. All six bars share one scale, ±0.35 points.
Every snapexpected points added per play, all downs
Dropping backexpected points added per dropback
Running itexpected points added per rush
Neither side “wins” volume or play-calling mix, so neither is drawn as a duel: Chargers ran 66 snaps at a 68% dropback rate against Titans’s 63 at 46%. Red-zone trips: Chargers 5, Titans 4.
Derived from the play-by-play, no model
11 of 12 readings cleared their snap floor and were tested against four comparisons: this week's whole slate, the team's own season, the week before, and the team's own ordinary spread. Every bar below is set in that team's own week-to-week swing, never in league points — one team's swing runs 1.6 to 3.1 times the entire league's spread.
TEN's pass rate over expected turned over: +3.6 pts in week 1 against −13.9 pts here — they threw more than the situation asked then and ran more than the situation asked now, a turn of 3.5 of their own weekly swings across the two.
63 snaps this game, floor 20 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 5.0 points.
TEN's early-down pass rate turned over: 59.6% in week 1 against 38.8% here — they passed early then and ran early now, a turn of 2.8 of their own weekly swings across the two.
49 early downs this game, floor 15 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 7.3 points.
LAC's sack or hit rate turned over: 4.3% in week 1 against 20.7% here — they stayed blocked then and got home now, a turn of 2.4 of their own weekly swings across the two.
29 dropbacks this game, floor 12 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 6.9 points.
LAC's early-down pass rate turned over: 46.7% in week 1 against 66.7% here — they ran early then and passed early now, a turn of 2.2 of their own weekly swings across the two.
48 early downs this game, floor 15 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 9.1 points.
The season-grain rooms, pointed at this one game
11 of 12 readings cleared their snap floor. Every deviation below is measured in that team's own game-to-game swing, not in league points — because one game's swing runs from 1.6 to 3.1 times the whole league's spread.

4 players played under 8 snaps, so their shares read as a dash rather than a number. 3 lines have no expected-points read and sit off the plane.
Expected points are modelled in full PPR, so the “vs expected” column stays in that unit whichever format the pills are set to. Switching the pills changes the points column, not the plane.
The whole game as one hundred yards. The Titans attack right, the Chargers attack left, so a change of possession is a reversal you can see. Reading down is the order the snaps were played — not the clock, so a two-minute drill gets the same room as any other fourteen snaps. This game is final.
(3:55) (Shotgun) 17-R.Tannehill pass short right to 10-D.Hopkins to LAC 13 for 14 yards (3-D.James). PENALTY on LAC-9-K.Murray, Roughing the Passer, 7 yards, enforced at LAC 13.

167 snaps placed · 12 without a recorded yard line, left off the map · 4 marked moments — the largest win-probability swings, one per drive.
Post-game film: 179 plays across 22 drives, personnel groupings on 166 snaps, the eleven on the field by name, manual charting on 173. Everything here paints once the weekly sync ingests the game — there is no live play-level feed in this product, so nothing on this page updates while a game is being played.
10 of 22 drives ended in points. The longest march was TEN moving 82 yards from the TEN 18 for a touchdown. Each bar is the ground a drive actually covered; TEN attacks right, LAC attacks left. Hatching marks a trip inside the twenty.
Offensive grouping on every pass and run. A group needs five snaps in this game before it gets a number — under that the sample is a coin flip and the cell reads a dash instead. Open any play above to see the eleven men who were actually on the field for it.
