Note
The model against the market, the momentum underneath, every drive — scrub to replay it
The model and the market were 12.7 win-probability points apart on the average play, and 27 apart at the widest — with the model the more convinced about Texans.
(4:34) 11-J.Stout punts 45 yards to HOU 33, Center-69-T.Ott. 82-S.Sims for 67 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
The modelled figures are the league play-by-play model's, not ours.
How the points landed
Lamar Jackson's 15-yard rushing touchdown with 12:10 left in the 3rd put Baltimore Ravens ahead for good. The lead never changed over the 3 scores that followed.
8 scores · bar length is the lead after each one
Down-to-down truth
Ravens ahead 6–1 on categories, including the biggest gap of the duel — red-zone touchdowns.
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, ±0.45 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: Texans ran 46 snaps at a 76% dropback rate against Ravens’s 67 at 45%. Red-zone trips: Texans 0, Ravens 5.
Ravens won the down-to-down efficiency fight: 0.22 expected points added per play vs -0.22.
Derived from the play-by-play, no model
12 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.
HOU's blitz rate sent, 63.3%, sat 44.1 points above their season number of 19.2% — they sent pressure by 5.4 times their own 8.1-point weekly swing.
30 dropbacks this game, floor 12 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 8.1 points.
The season-grain rooms, pointed at this one game
12 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.
This is not a regular-season game, so every season number below is that team's 2023 regular season — the only stretch long enough to be a habit.

4 players played under 8 snaps, so their shares read as a dash rather than a number. 4 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 Ravens attack right, the Texans 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.

Q2 4:34 · Ravens · 4th & 10 at BAL 22 · gained nothing · -5.52 EP · −12.9% win probability
154 snaps placed · 13 without a recorded yard line, left off the map · 4 marked moments — the largest win-probability swings, one per drive.
Post-game film: 167 plays across 20 drives, personnel groupings on 154 snaps, the eleven on the field by name, manual charting on 162. 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.
7 of 20 drives ended in points. The longest march was BAL moving 93 yards from the BAL 7 for a touchdown. Each bar is the ground a drive actually covered; BAL attacks right, HOU 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.
