Mahomes connected twice with Travis Kelce and once with Kareem Hunt, who added two scoring runs. Mahomes has 29 TDs in 10 career games, the best start by an NFL quarterback since 1950. The Browns lost their fourth straight and first since Hue Jackson was fired.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas fired football coach David Beaty, effective at the end of the season, ending a three-plus year tenure marked by modest improvement but just a handful of wins. The school announced the firing Sunday. Beaty has a career record of 6-39 with three wins against Power Five opponents. He will be paid $3 million under terms of his contract.
