MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 30-yard sack, four turnovers and a 10-point deficit to clinch their fifth consecutive AFC West title by beating Miami 33-27.

Northern IA opts out of 2 games this coming week

Sports

December 13th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

UNDATED (AP) — Northern Iowa says it won’t play its scheduled men’s basketball matchups with No. 13 Wisconsin or Marshall this week. The Panthers were scheduled to visit Wisconsin on Wednesday and Marshall on Saturday. Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson announced today (Sunday) that the team is pausing all basketball activities, including practice and those two games.

Jacobson said the COVID-19 pandemic and injuries have had a major impact on his team and the players it has available. Northern Iowa begins its Missouri Valley Conference schedule Dec. 27 by hosting Missouri State.

Coastal breaks into top 10; Alabama still No. 1; ISU jumps two positions

Sports

December 13th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

UNDATED (AP) — The first top-10 shakeup in more than a month has pushed Coastal Carolina to No. 9 in The Associated Press college football poll. Alabama was a unanimous No. 1, followed by Notre Dame, Ohio State, Clemson and Texas A&M as those teams held their spots for a sixth straight week. Surprising losses by Florida and Miami shuffled the rest of the top 10. No. 6 Cincinnati and No. 7 Indiana each moved up one spot and No. 8 Iowa State jumped two.

Then come the unbeaten Chanticleers at No. 9, the first Sun Belt Conference team to crack the AP’s top 10. Georgia landed at No. 10 ahead of Florida at 11. The Gators dropped five spots after losing in bizarre and dramatic fashion to LSU in the fog Saturday night. Miami plummeted 10 spots to No. 19 after getting blown out by North Carolina. The Tar Heels moved up four spots to No. 16.
