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?

9. The Lions Fail to Convert

Win Probability Added: 6.32%


It was an uphill climb for the Detroit Lions this weekend -- going into Seattle and getting a win against the Seahawks in a playoff game is no easy task. Missing fourth-down conversions like the one you see above doesn't help.

At the start of the second quarter, the Lions faced a 4th-and-1 on the Seattle 38-yard line. It was the perfect time to go for it. Unfortunately, a quick pass behind the line of scrimmage to the dad-running Matthew Mulligan wasn't enough to convert for a fresh set of downs. The play, albeit a boring-as-hell one, ended up aiding the Seahawks by 6.32% in win probability.
