Ryan Flournoy caught only two passes against the Colts, and one of them swung the game: 3 targets, 2 catches, 53 yards and +3.5 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. Down 23-20 with 1:37 left, on the first snap after Spencer Shrader's go-ahead field goal, first and 10 at the Dallas 35, Dak Prescott threw deep right and Flournoy caught it for 46 yards to the Indianapolis 19, where Sauce Gardner brought him down. That was +2.8 EPA and 28.7 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, the largest swing of the game. Javonte Williams scored four snaps later.

His other catch moved the chains on third and 6 in the first quarter, 7 yards to the Indianapolis 30 on the drive that ended in Jake Ferguson's touchdown, +1.8 EPA. Through Week 8 he had 30 catches on 44 targets for 342 yards, 2 touchdowns and +14.8 EPA, +0.34 a target; here it was +1.18.
