Note
The model against the market, the momentum underneath, every drive — scrub to replay it
The model and the market were 8.3 win-probability points apart on the average play, and 22 apart at the widest — with the model the more convinced about Patriots.
(6:31) 16-T.Lawrence pass deep middle to 7-B.Thomas to NE 21 for 58 yards (0-C.Gonzalez).
The modelled figures are the league play-by-play model's, not ours.
How the points landed
Tank Bigsby's 1-yard rushing touchdown with 3:35 left in the 2nd put Jacksonville Jaguars ahead for good. The lead never changed over the 4 scores that followed.
8 scores · bar length is the lead after each one
Down-to-down truth
Jaguars ahead 8–0 on categories, including the biggest gap of the duel — sacks taken.
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, ±0.61 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: Patriots ran 55 snaps at a 78% dropback rate against Jaguars’s 60 at 37%. Red-zone trips: Patriots 2, Jaguars 5.
Jaguars won the down-to-down efficiency fight: 0.24 expected points added per play vs 0.07.
Derived from the play-by-play, no model
10 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.
JAX's play-action rate, 54.5%, was the highest of the 30 team-games charted in week 7 — 13.2 points clear of the next team along.
22 dropbacks this game, floor 12 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 10.4 points.
JAX's early-down pass rate, 31.3%, is past their previous low of 41.0% in week 1 — the lowest of their 7 charted games through week 7.

The season-grain rooms, pointed at this one game
10 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.

1 player played under 8 snaps, so their shares read as a dash rather than a number. 1 line has no expected-points read and sits 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 Jaguars attack right, the Patriots 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.
(6:31) 16-T.Lawrence pass deep middle to 7-B.Thomas to NE 21 for 58 yards (0-C.Gonzalez).
Q2 6:31 · Jaguars · 2nd & 7 at JAX 21 · gained 58 · +4.21 EP · +13.4% win probability
148 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: 160 plays across 17 drives, personnel groupings on 148 snaps, the eleven on the field by name, manual charting on 155. 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 17 drives ended in points. The longest march was NE moving 94 yards from the NE 6 for a touchdown. Each bar is the ground a drive actually covered; JAX attacks right, NE 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.
