    Touchdown - Chiefspublished at 00:01 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 17-27 Kansas City Chiefs

    Is that the decisive score?

    The pocket is collapsing around Patrick Mahomes. Most quarterbacks with a heavily-strapped, probably sprained ankle would be a tad concerned.

    Nah. He just floats a lovely pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the Chiefs' lead is back to double figures with just seven minutes and change remaining.

    Jacksonville Jaguars 17-20 Kansas City Chiefs

    Jacksonville are not helping themselves on this drive with a couple of penalties aiding the Chiefs' cause.

    An Isiah Pacheco run gets Kansas City into the redzone as the clock ticks under nine minutes. Then Kadarius Toney produces a superb surge to get them inside the five-yard line.

    "He's not used to not being able to do superhuman things," say the commentators on American TV.

    Maybe not superhuman but Mahomes finds Travis Kelce again for what must be his 276th catch tonight. Feels like it anyway.

    Ah, it's 14. Close. Still a blinking lot.

    Mahomes is off target to his tight end Travis Kelce. That's a rarity.

    Goes back to him on second down and this time he connects. First down, Chiefs.

    That was a wonderfully-composed drive from Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    What have the Chiefs and the hobbling Patrick Mahomes got in response? Just under 12 minutes left in this fourth and final quarter.

    Travis Etienne Jr cuts back beautifully to go in from five yards.

    Only three points in it now - are we in for a massive upset?

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-20 Kansas City Chiefs

    A brilliant 30-yard throw from Trevor Lawrence to Zay Jones and then an 18-yard run from Christian Kirk and all of a sudden the Jaguars are right in the Chiefs' redzone...

  8. First down for Jagspublished at 23:46 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-20 Kansas City Chiefs

    Trevor Lawrence engineered a heck of a comeback last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.

    But in Arrowhead against the AFC top seeds, this would arguably surpass that.

    Good start to the fourth quarter for the Jags QB as he uses his legs to rush for a key first down.

    The Jacksonville Jaguars will have to overturn a 10-point deficit in the final quarter to prevent Kansas City progressing to the AFC Championship game for the fifth straight year.

    A HUGE sack to end the third quarter as Derrick Nnadi absolutely crunches Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a big loss in yardage.

    Ooh, a pass interference penalty drives the Chiefs out of field goal range on third down.

    So Patrick Mahomes connects with Travis Kelce to get them back into range and Harrison Butker nails the 50-yard kick for the first points of this seciond half.

    Kansas City lead by 10.

  12. Postpublished at 23:37 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-17 Kansas City Chiefs

    The health of Patrick Mahomes' ankle doesn't matter if the Jaguars are going to give him as much time as he just enjoyed.

    He could have been sat in a hospital bed with his leg in a sling.

    Noah Gray is wide open in the middle of the park to receive the pass too. What were Jacksonville doing there?

  14. Jags punt againpublished at 23:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-17 Kansas City Chiefs

    Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence throws short of Christian Kirk on third down and 12 - and it's another punt.

    It comes close to being blocked but Kadarius Toney returns it to the Chiefs' 40-yard line, decent field position now for the hosts.

    With Patrick Mahomes' injury issues, Kansas City are going to need their defense to step up - and so far they are doing just that.

    The Jags cannot get anything going on offense.

    The Chiefs are challenging the on-field ruling that Pacheco did not gain a first down with that run...

    It fails. And the Chiefs are short on third down and inches too. They snap it straight to tight end Noah Gray but he's stopped short.

    Another punt, a third straight one to begin this second half.

  17. 'He's a bad man!'published at 23:23 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-17 Kansas City Chiefs

    NBC's Cris Collinsworth is a big fan of Isiah Pacheco:

    "He's a bad man, that's a bad man out there! Two defenders are out there but he runs right at them and doesn't go out of bounds and gets them close to the first down.

  18. Postpublished at 23:22 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    We've just seen a close-up of Patrick Mahomes' ankle and it's taped up tighter than your grandparents' Christmas wrapping.

  19. Jaguars punt it awaypublished at 23:18 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-17 Kansas City Chiefs

    Worth recalling how big a surprise package the Jaguars have been this year.

    They were the worst team in the NFL last season - now here they are in the play-offs going toe-to-toe with the AFC's top seeded side.

    This drive has stalled, however, and after a couple of incompletions from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, they have to punt.

  20. Jags on the movepublished at 23:16 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2023

    Jacksonville Jaguars 10-17 Kansas City Chiefs

    Two runs and a short pass for the Jaguars to begin their first drive of the second half - and it's enough for a first down.

    Then Travis Etienne Jr finds a gap up the middle for a 12-yard gain.
