Win Probability Chart

The chart tells the story

Indy had a 78% chance to win the game before the 3rd and 11 pass to Collie with 10:51 to play.  After the missed field goal, their win probability had dropped to 47%.  That’s a massive drop in two plays.  After the Saints’ touchdown, they had just a 13% chance to win.  After the pick 6, their win percentage dropped from 23% to 2%.  In other words, 3rd and 4th down on the first drive of fourth quarter affected the outcome more than the pick six did.  That feels about right.
