    BIG!

    Patriots have fourth and inches and go for it, and it's no good! Stuffed on the line. Kansas will have the ball back.

    It doesn't look like it's got any warmer as fans huddle under blankets in the stands. A quick websearch suggests it's about -7C out there, but it 'feels' like -12C.

    Toasty!

    Tom Brady has a third down.

    Play action pass from Tom Brady, finds Julian Edelman wide open for an easy first down. The momentum may be with the hosts but never, ever, back against the Patriots...

    Here comes Tom Brady out on to the field then. What a fourth quarter on our hands.

    That was a 75-yard drive from the Chiefs. Game very much on.

    At the beginning of the year I thought Patrick Mahomes was going to be shaky and Osi was like, 'I'm telling you, this guy is going to ball!'

    And he was right!

    Mahomes is going to be a star for years.

    What a throw! Damien Williams looked pretty covered in the end zone but Patrick Mahomes bullets a pass into his hands to bring Kansas back into the game.

    The kick is good too. Three points in it!

    Here we go then, fourth quarter - Mahones throws to the end zone - no good!

    But it's a foul. The ball will be placed on the one...

    Shot for the touchdown - overthrown by Patrick Mahomes!

    WHAT a pass! Patrick Mahomes is blitzed, he's going to get nailed but he still somehow gets the ball out of his hands, side of his hand and he finds Sammy Watkins. Brilliant.

    First down, followed by another. Into the danger zone...

    First down Kansas City! Time to get this offense moving lads if you want to get to that Super Bowl.

    I say veteran, it turns out Stephen Gostkowski is actually younger than I am. Seems to have been around for years and years.

    Anyway, here come the Chiefs again. A 10-point deficit to worry about now.

    Absolute no nonsense from Pats veteran Stephen Gostkowski, he drills three points from 47 yards.

    Phillip Dorsett gives away an offensive penalty, New England are now second and 19. Still in a decent field position to get more points on the board.

    Huge volume inside the Arrowhead as the crowd try to inspire their defence, Chris Hogan makes the catch though and picks up a first down, before he takes a massive crack in a tackle.

    The Chiefs have to punt it away from the end zone and it means that Tom Brady will take over in a very strong position indeed.

    Patrick Mahomes is hauled down again, nowhere for him to go.

    The Chiefs get some distance on the run for the first time and force a first down. But they are starting from so far back, it will be some drive from here.

    This time the Chiefs do force a three and out though as it's tipped at the line. The Pats have to punt it. Tyreek Hill goes to run it back but loses 12 yards. Another costly decision...
