We're back on the field in Philadelphia with the Eagles having the ball and chance to stretch their lead.

Philadelphia have a 12-point lead and the ball to start the second half. Washington have looked great in spells but have shot themselves in the foot more than once.

Can the underdogs produce yet another comeback? Or will the hosts put this one to bed?

Thumbs up for the Eagles, thumbs down for Commanders...

This is what lies in wait for tonight's winners... a trip to the Caesars Superdome in Louisiana, which is hosting Super Bowl 59 on 9 February.

The home stadium of the New Orleans Saints underwent a five-year renovation costing $560m (£458.7m), which was completed in time for this season, and this year's Super Bowl coincides with the Superdome's 50th anniversary.

The stadium has already hosted the NFL's championship game a record seven times, and as you can see from the drone footage below, it looks all set to stage the big game once more.

It was very good situational football there by Washington's offence. Jayden Daniels has so much poise in those two-minute situations. They've been called the 'Cardiac Commanders' for a reason, because of his ability to drive the team down the field to get a touchdown or a field goal.

I wouldn't say that Washington will be feeling great about the way that half went but I think they'll be like 'guys, we can't turn the ball over anymore because we're going to get a chance here to make it a one-score game'. They're right in it.

Washington have got to find a way to be more consistent. No more turnovers, because they're still in this game! They did an excellent job at the end of the half to get some points on the board and cut the lead.

Only eight teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls and none of those have managed to get back to the big game - with just three getting to this stage.

So can the Kansas City Chiefs do it? Let your thumbs tell us....

The Bills and Chiefs served up probably the best play-off game the NFL has ever seen - so why not take a look again during half-time of what we could witness again later...

In recent weeks, people have talked more about what AJ Brown has done off the field than on it - reading the Inner Excellence book on the sideline.

If Philadelphia weren't going to rely solely on their run game tonight, they needed him to step up.

Before tonight's game, Brown had caught only three of 10 targets for a total of 24 yards during the post-season. Five Washington receivers had more yards than him.

But Brown has come good, not only claiming that touchdown but a total of four catches for 61 yards already.

I think the Commanders have made it known that they are here to play. They are not going to wave the white flag and quit in this game.

And breathe. What a half that was! It had a bit of everyting in it, Saquon Barkley breaking off huge plays, Jayden Daniels leading huge drives but Washington making some huge mistakes in both turnovers and penalties.

Washington are well in this - and have played some great football on both sides, with the defence getting some good stops but most of the big moments have gone Philadelphia's way.

Barkley's huge touchdown run off the first play, two touchdowns scored off two Washington fumbles and one scored after a 15-yard penalty on the Commanders just after getting a stop on third down that would have forced a Philly field goal.

The Eagles get the ball first to start the second half too...

Field goal - Commanderspublished at 21:43 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January

21:43 GMT 26 January

Washington Commanders 15-27 Philadelphia Eagles

Those 10 extra yards made a huge difference and Zane Gonzalez can relax as he sends a 42-yarder sailing between the uprights and the lead is now 12 points.

Zach Ertz takes a nice catch and run to move the ball down 10 yards, absolutely perfect from the final play but poor defence from the Eagles. Six seconds left and Zane Gonzalez will run out for the field goal.

Washington will try to get it to the sideline here or run it out of bounds. Worst-case scenario, they'll have a 52-yard field goal.

Great run by Jayden Daniels in the dying second of the half, as he takes off on a great scrambling run right down to the Philadelphia 35-yard line so that would be about a 52-yard kick from here.

Zane Gonzalez hasn't got the biggest leg in the league though so Daniels is looking to try and grab a couple more yards. Only 13 seconds left though, no time outs.

OK, so just two turnovers so far but they've cost Washington 14 points as the Eagles have scored touchdowns after each one.

Washington were one two-point conversion away from tying the game at 14-14 and now they are down 15 points. Philadelphia have got 14 points off two Washington fumbles. They have really efficiently cashed in on Washington mistakes.

If the Commanders are to win this, they need a clean game. But they've already had two turnovers and showed poor discipline with that penalty on third down.

Not only was Saquon Barkley already out of bounds but Mike Sainristil nearly was too.

Huge mistake again by Washington as Saquon Barkley takes a shot from Mike Sainristil just out of bounds and the flag comes in to a huge ovation from the Philly crowd. It's a close one but Barkley's foot is just in bounds.

The Commanders had stopped them and forced a field goal but for that penalty and that's now two turnovers and a couple of big penalties that could easily cost them a place in the Super Bowl.

Jalen Hurts scampers away for a touchdown but there's some yellow on the field and the centre Landon Dickerson is flagged for a hold so that one is chalked off.
