First down, over the middle and gathered in by Zach Ertz. His wife, Julie Johnston of the US women's football team, enjoys that one.

Nick Foles has the ball in his hands, Eagles up by six. Jay Ajayi picks up a few.

With Cooks out, Brady's now their best deep receiver!

Brandin Cooks is out after that clash of heads.

The Patriots are the kings of that sort of trick play. Tom Brady would have been gone and in for six I reckon.

That's a turnover on downs, ball back in the Eagles' hands.

Tom Brady as receiver! He drops it!

Trick play as the Patriots flick the ball, Danny Amendola turns quarterback and throws to a wide open Brady - who drops it!

You've seen it all now.

Back up and running, Tom Brady has a pass batted away and that's almost intercepted in fact!

2nd&10.

England manager Gareth Southgate has joined the team in the studio: "What an atmosphere. It’s a great experience. I’m still working and watching the coaches on the side. Part enjoyment, part work.

"I’m watching the interaction with the other coaches and who’s calling the plays.They are also communicating on the field too which is a bit different to what we can do.

"We've also had some meetings with the coaches with the Vikings and the Falcons. One of the big things we talked about was the talent Identification, they are big on their draft picks. We also looked at their junior teams and what's the criteria for bring them into the teams."

That tackle is why people love the NFL and exactly why it has to change. Not seen a replay but seeing it live in the stadium it looked very nasty helmet to helmet. Unintentional and not malicious, but brutally vicious and damaging.

Brandin Cooks will have to be assessed after that hit. A really nasty one, he didn't see the hit coming at all.

New England Patriots 3-9 Philadelphia Eagles

Tom Brady on the ball, big first down to Brandin Cooks, who's hit hard! He wasn't looking at all and Malcolm Jenkins hammered him, helmet to helmet.

That's a bad hit. Legal but hard. Injury time out.

For everyone tweeting in asking about our pundits having some chairs - I think they're OK...

Gareth Southgate says he is learning from the coaches on display.

Watch out for England going long to Peter Crouch in the World Cup...

Great throw, great grab. Eagles ahead.

Gareth Southgate is in the BBC box!

Course he is.

The first punt of the night. Nick Foles does brilliantly to get out of dodge but his pass is just out of reach of his tight end. Three and out.

Donnie Jones punts it away left footed, caught by Danny Amendola.

I’m disappointed at the Eagles pass rush. This is a team that is supposed to be getting to the quarterback. This is a team that prides itself on getting to the the quarterback. So far they have let Tom Brady sit back, do his taxes and carve them up.

If you're new to NFL trust me when I say this is an action-packed start to a game. It's all going on!

Duffed attempt! The snap is fluffed, Ryan Allen can't place it properly and after a stuttering run up kicker Stephen Gostkowski hits the post.

Shades of Ray Finkle! The laces were ut!

Back in play, Patriots 3rd&2, and Brandin Cooks is slammed onto the turf! A huge tackle.
