KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs lost for the fifth time in six games, this time 16-10 to the Buffalo Bills. The culprit once again was the offense. It was held to 236 yards. Alex Smith struggled to find open wide receivers and the ground game was held in check. The only bright spot was a defense that kept them in the game until the final minute.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos says it will take two or three years to return the football program to the level of competitiveness that fans expect. He says he has a list of a half-dozen names of coaches he thinks could get the job done. Mike Riley was fired Saturday after a 4-8 season ended with losses in six of the last seven games.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Reed Timmer buried seven 3-pointers and all seven of his free throws for a career-high 32 points and Drake turned back Chicago State 79-67. Nick McGlynn just missed his third straight double-double with 17 points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs (4-1).
