NFL
The 10 Most Impactful Plays From Wild Card Weekend
With a lot of plays to choose from, which ones had the biggest impact on win probability from the NFL's wild card round?

8. Bobby Rainey Runs for No Gain

Win Probability Added: 6.45%


Bobby Rainey isn't the biggest back in the world, weighing in at 205 pounds. So when the Giants opted to feed him the rock on a 3rd-and-1 towards the tail-end of the first half of Sunday's game, it was a little surprising, especially when running back Rashad Jennings, also on their roster, is a more-experienced 230-pound runner.

The play ended the Giants' drive, resulting in a punt and 6.45% win probability added for the Packers. (And then some magic happened, but we'll get to that later.)
