Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Harrison Butker kicked five field goals and Marcus Peters returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 29-19 win against the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs picked off Trevor Siemian three times and forced five turnovers in snapping a two-game skid. It was also their fourth straight victory over their AFC West rival.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs renamed the broadcast booths at Arrowhead Stadium in honor of Hall of Fame player and broadcaster Len Dawson before their game against the Denver Broncos. The 82-year-old Dawson went into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1987 and a broadcaster in 2012. He announced this year that he would retire as a radio color analyst after the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have activated cornerback Steven Nelson from injured reserve, where he has been since training camp, and he could make his season debut against Denver. Nelson had core muscle surgery just before the start of the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Broncos did enough defensively to beat the Chiefs, but the offense floundered again in a 29-19 loss. Denver held the NFL’s third-ranked offense to 276 yards, kept league rushing leader Kareem Hunt from running wild and even forced a pair of turnovers against a team that hardly ever loses one. But it wasn’t enough to overcome five turnovers and numerous mistakes by the Denver offense.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s rise to the top of the Big 12 has been one of the nation’s biggest surprises this fall. The main reason the Cyclones are suddenly winning has been their vastly improved defense. The 14th-ranked Cyclones have the league’s top-rated defense through five games, allowing just 13.6 points in league outings and holding each of their opponents to at least 10 points below their season average. They face another big test on Saturday with a visit to West Virginia.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee has gone from being a liability the first month of the season to giving the Cornhuskers their best chance to win. He threw nine interceptions through the first four games but only one the last four. He threw for more than 400 yards in a win over Purdue and might be called on to keep throwing a lot the rest of the season because of a struggling run game. The Huskers host Northwestern on Saturday.
