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

SEATTLE (AP) — For all the brilliance Patrick Mahomes has shown this season in leading Kansas City to the cusp of a division title and possibly the No. 1 seed in the AFC, he’s never been in the situation of showing he can win a late-season game in a hostile environment that could ultimately help determine how far the Chiefs go in the postseason. That unknown about Mahomes makes Sunday night’s matchup with Kansas City visiting Seattle fascinating in a game filled with playoff implications.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Police say former NFL wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has been arrested diving through a glass window when officers arrived to search a Missouri house. The Springfield News-Leader reports officers who caught up to the 25-year-old found a pound marijuana in his backpack.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Marcus Zegarowski scored 20 points and Creighton set a Big East record with 22 3-pointers to beat Division III Coe 110-60. Ten different Creighton players made at least one 3-pointer as the Bluejays (8-4) passed the record (21) they set against Villanova on Jan. 20, 2014. Zegarowski was 6 of 8 from the arc and Ty-Shon Alexander made 4 of 8 from distance.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Willie Murrell, the former Kansas State basketball star who is one of two Wildcats with career averages of more than 20 points and 10 rebounds, has died. He was 78. Murrell died Dec. 6 in Colorado.
