He has been, but a lot of it is to do with how good the Eagles defence has been. Serious pressure almost every down.

The gap between these two teams so far is almost as big as the age gap between Bill Belichick and his "Girlfriend."

Nothing that big lol

Doubt it's bed before start of the 4th quarter, might even go now.

Lol. There's a good chance this gap will be closed a bit. That one won't. You can never write off Mahomes but it's definitely a long way back, especially if the Eagles defence keeps playing this well.

Super Bowl 51 still fresh in the memory so no champagne for me yet

Me neither!! Still, if the defence can play close to that level in the second half, we should be able to see it out.

A long way off the best half time performers down through the years.

Pretty flawless. Stripped back for once and about the music rather than all the faff that normally accompanies it.

And Drake got completely ruined one final time to put the icing on the cake by having Serena there during Not Like Us.

As for the game, it's over. Chiefs D has been grand and have shut Barkley down which was their primary objective. Eagles D line just completely dominant in comparison.

Can't say I ever heard any of them before in my life!

Just found the whole thing lifeless as f**k.

Haven't seen a top quarter back shut down like this since the Giants did a job on Brady in 2008 and 2012.

But at least Brady made some headway in those games. It's hard to see KC scoring at all, and there's still 17 minutes left.

I'm starting to think we might win this.
