Taking a closer look at ESPN's win probability model and this spike in Cleveland's WP was caused by a 9 yard Baltimore run on 1st & 10, which caused CLE WP to go from 55% to 75%
????????????????
In ESPN's win probability model, a 4 yard Trace McSorley run on 1st & 10 with more than 13 minutes left increased Cleveland's win probability from 18% to 34%
My model actually thinks the Browns going for 2, down 8 last night was a bad decision- it didn't think the difference between being down 6 vs 7 was worth the additional risk
So I think it's time to cancel this chart (sorry whoever made the chart) because it assumes "convert 2 --> kick PAT" results in a win and that is obviously not the case
"They’ll only have him for another 16 games" is what would happen if he DID sign the tag, no long-term deal were reached, and he weren't tagged against next year.
So again, this tweet doesn't make sense
Note that this appears to be a change in strategy by Frank Clark's agent, who said this on the record in October 2018 espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
