UNDATED (AP) — The NFL’s handling of violence accusations against Kareem Hunt shows the league still reacts heavily based on public perception. The league and Kansas City Chiefs quickly changed their approach toward the star running back after video was released showing Hunt pushing and kicking a woman at a Cleveland hotel. The league has tried to change following its mishandling of the Ray Rice domestic violence case in 2014.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey is leaving Auburn to take the same job at Kansas. New Kansas coach Les Miles has named Lindsey to his staff. Lindsey has been Auburn’s offensive coordinator for the last two seasons. In 2017, Auburn’s offense was just the eighth in SEC history to rush and pass for 3,000 yards. Lindsey also has been offensive coordinator at Southern Miss and Arizona State.
