Guess what? New England get another third-down conversion. Machines.

It's Rex Burkhead this time rushing through the middle.

Tom Brady has the ball back for New England. The crowd now has belief.

On behalf of all neutrals - that is good news. Could have been a bit of a slog of a second half...

There we go!

Just like that, it's game back on. Patrick Mahomes finds tight end Travis Kelce for the score and that's exactly what this game needed. The extra point is good.

Got it! A HUUGGEEEE play for the Chiefs! A 54-yard third down conversion to pick out Sammy Watkins who nearly goes in for the score but is tackled.

The Chiefs have possession and are already on third down. They need to start converting these double sharp.

Away we go. Kansas City need a massive second half.

Keith N: If the Pats beat this Chiefs side and the Rams in the Superbowl then the debate over the best quarterback is surely over if not already. #bradygoat

The Chiefs had a total of 32 yards in the first half. The Patriots had 245.

The hosts will be reasonably happy they don't trail by more. They only had three first downs to New England's 16.

Most Super Bowl appearances: Tom Brady - XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII, XLVI, XLIX, LI, LII.

LIII?

Jarleth Eaton: An absolute masterclass from the Pats thus far. Having called a Patriots v Rams Super Bowl back in August, I'm kind of in two minds about wanting to be right, but also wanting someone different to come out of the AFC!

Andrew Priestley: A Bill Belichick designed New England Patriots football masterclass so far in the AFC Championship game. We’ve said it before (nearly every year for what seems to be the last two decades) and we’ll probably be saying it again next year

This has been a Pats masterclass so far. Nothing flashy, or exciting. But efficient.

Patrick Mahomes has the ball stripped - and that's halftime!

They run it, they run it, they run it - and then Tom Brady has protection and time to pick out Phillip Dorsett for a touchdown!

A 29-yard touchdown pass. And the PAT is good too.

More yards for James White. Chiefs just can't stop the run.

New England are turning 77% of their third downs into first downs. That's lunacy.

And another first down for James White. Makes it look so easy as he picks up 30 more yards!

Third down, Patriots. Big moment for the Chiefs defense.

First down completed to James White. The man is a first-down machine!

Chris Parker: Andy Reid deserves a Superbowl ring as Head Coach. Mahomes, Kelce, Hill let's make it happen! #notthepatriotsagainplease, external

The Chiefs have scored 565 points this season and have never not scored in a first half under coach Andy Reid.

There's a first time for everything.

Tom Brady, expelling frosty breath like a steam engine, leads his side to the sidelines. Is he heading for a ninth Super Bowl?
