Win Probability Swing: Patriots -9.98%
It was not a good night for kicking teams. Jake Elliott started the madness by missing a point-after attempt in the first quarter. Then, the Patriots had some issues on the snap, and they decided to return the favor.

Sub-Gucci.
It was a valiant effort just to get the kick off, but Stephen Gostkowski banged it off the upright. The Patriots' win odds were at 55.59% before the attempt and 45.50% after. They had climbed as high as 58.50% within that drive, but the Patriots wound up having nothing to show for it. Three points clearly wasn't the difference by the end of the game, but it certainly didn't help matters.
