LIVE GAME COVERAGE
Fourth quarter
- Patriots' last chance from the 5 yard line on fourth down is incomplete as it's knocked away from Edelman. Chiefs will win.
- Patriots settle for a field goal. Trail by a touchdown with 11:46 to play. CHIEFS 23, PATRIOTS 16.
- Patriots have scored twice on this drive ... maybe. Still not in. Challenging again.
- New England challenging down by contact. Looked like Devin McCourty stripped Kelce before he was down. Huge play. It is a fumble. Special teams and defense doing all they can to keep the team in the game.
- And they do. End around to Bolden makes this a game again. Patriots don't get the two-point conversion CHIEFS 23, PATRIOTS 13.
- Patriots get a much-needed block punt by Ebner. Offense has to cash in.
- Patriots hold to a field goal. CHIEFS 23, PATRIOTS 7.
- Chiefs get the ball to start second half. They've scored 31 points in each of their last two second halves vs. Patriots.
- And boos rain down at halftime as the offense does nothing.
- Patriots hold for a field goal. As bad as they've played, they're still only down two scores. CHIEFS 20, PATRIOTS 7.
- Promising drive ends on Meyers drop and pressure from Chiefs. No Sanu on the end of that drive. Harry came in on fourth down.
- Chiefs score on a Wildcat play by Kelce. 17 unanswered. CHIEFS 17, PATRIOTS 7.

- And Brady is picked off.
- After another generous call, Patriots allow a 45-yard touchdown on 2nd and 25 with a curiously aggressive playcall. CHIEFS 10, PATRIOTS 7.
- Mahomes sacked by Wise on a 12-yard sack.
- Quarter ends with Gilmore getting called for a hold to negate a Mahomes sack.
- Chiefs block a 41-yard field goal.
- Patriots, aided by a cheap holding call and Andy Reid passing up 4th and 1, kick a field goal. Mahomes has been holding his throwing hand after every play. PATRIOTS 7, CHIEFS 3.
- On third down, Mahomes throws into double coverage and is picked off by JC Jackson. ... But the Patriots get no points off it. Could be big.
- An extended flea-flicker for the touchdown. McDaniels dug deep into the playbook for that one. Patriots score on two PIs and a flea-flicker. The any way you can offense. PATRIOTS 7, CHIEFS 0.

- Patriots got a PI call on third down on a pass that was not going to be completed.
