EPA wrong for sequence: TD, TO, Penalty, XP try

[bkmontgom]

Examples:
2008_10_SF_ARI play_id's 4080, 4094, 4114
2021_13_LAC_CIN play_id's 1518, 1573, 1538

On the timeout "play" the ep is calculated as if it's a regular play near the goalline. (This is the worst part.)
Then there is no epa cost for the penalty.

Good catch!
This seems to be a rare case where nflfastR can't recognize a PAT (either 2pt or XP). Since it doesn't know it's PAT, EP is quite high on these PATs. I think the other EP values are affected by this.

pbp <- nflfastR::build_nflfastR_pbp(c("2021_13_LAC_CIN", "2008_10_SF_ARI"))
