New England Patriots 10-7 Denver Broncos - third quarter
Another Rhamondre Stevenson run is stopped so kicker Andy Borregales steps back up.
The conditions are a lot trickier then when he came out just a few minutes ago and despite giving it some welly from 46 yards, Borregales' kick drifts over the right upright and just wide.
It stays a three-point game with just seconds to the end of the third quarter.
As both Defences playing well, unless Denver's Offence gets some magic.... Maye is doing enough to win it. Not convinced that these 2 teams are the best in the AFC......
Neil, Rugby
It’s been a fantastic defensive performance from both teams. Sometimes makes a more interesting game than a high scorer when neither defence can do a thing.

Then the Patriots mix it up with a flea flicker and Maye finds Mack Hollins for 31 yards to get the Patriots into Denver territory.

Jaleel McLaughlin's run is stuffed then Jarrett Stidham takes the right option by checking down to the running back in acres of space yet somehow McLaughlin drops it on second down.
Stidham spreads it wide to Marvin Mims on third down but there's nothing doing so after the mammoth drive by the Patriots, the Broncos go three-and-out.

The conditions are getting worse and worse.
Defence wins championships is the old adage. Both AFC teams have top defences, but the NFC has this too, but much more potent offences - it's a much stronger conference. Whoever wins in Seattle is taking home another Lombardi trophy.

The game looks set to get even uglier with snow falling in Denver as Jarrett Stidham comes back onto the field.

Even with that sack, New England are only five yards from the end zone, but Mike Vrabel is not taking any chances in a game this tight.
On comes the field-goal unit and Andy Borregales makes no mistake from 23 yards to edge the Patriots in front for the first time, after a drive lasting a whopping nine-and-a half minutes.

New England's offence wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders last week. It's the second week in a row where they have stalled trying to get done what they want to get done.

It is too big of a call not to challenge. It is too important. It is the right call to challenge it.

I said before the game, Maye needs to have off-scheduled plays for the Patriots to win. He can't do it just standing in the pocket.

"We've got to get into our rhythm, be able to run the ball and stay balanced. To not beat ourselves, get lined up and start executing."
