The full read
Jordan Addison made the biggest play of the game against the Lions and was the target on its biggest stops: 8 targets, 3 catches, 66 yards and -6.2 expected points added (EPA), his lowest in a game this season. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The big one came down 12-7 with 10:16 left. First and 10 at the Minnesota 39, Kyler Murray went deep middle and Addison caught it for 51 yards to the Detroit 10: +3.0 EPA and 15.9 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, the largest swing of the game. T.J. Hockenson caught the touchdown two snaps later, and Addison caught the two-point try for 15-12.
D.J. Reed was on the other side of the costly ones. Up 7-3 with 1:51 left in the half, Reed intercepted a short throw for him at the Detroit 38, -3.9 EPA and 8.8 points. Down 12-7 on the first snap of the fourth, fourth and 5 at the Detroit 25, Reed broke up another, -3.6 EPA and 8.6 points. Down 19-15 with 3:06 left, third and 5 at the Minnesota 33, a deep throw for him to the left fell incomplete, -1.3 EPA, and Minnesota punted.
