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

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson is leaving school early for the NFL. The Hawkeyes announced that Hockenson, a redshirt sophomore, will join teammates Noah Fant, Anthony Nelson and Amani Hooker as early entrees in the draft. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Hockenson won the Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end, in 2018.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Glynn Watson Jr. scored 15 points and Isaiah Copeland added 14 to help Nebraska upset No. 25 Indiana 66-51. The Cornhuskers have won two straight overall and three straight in the series. They never trailed Monday. Romeo Langford had 18 points and Juwan Morgan finished with 17 on a miserable shooting night for the Hoosiers, who have lost three in a row. Indiana’s 10-game home winning streak also ended.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Break out the parkas for Sunday night’s AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium. The National Weather Service is projecting an arctic blast to settle over Kansas City for the Chiefs’ game against the New England Patriots. Temperatures at kickoff could range from 10 degrees to well below zero, potentially making it the coldest game in Arrowhead Stadium history.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid is trying to turn the page on a resume filled with postseason flops this season. No coach has ever been in more playoff games without winning a Super Bowl, let alone reached just one of them. But if the Chiefs beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, it would be a big step toward shoving all those disappointments into the shadows.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Following a regular season in which the Patriots lost five games, Bill Belichick recognized the need for his team to lean even more on its collective offensive strength. The result has been a team that has rediscovered its ability to run the football that doesn’t rely so heavily on huge games from 41-year-old Tom Brady. It will be needed to upend a formidable Kansas City team in the AFC championship game.

UNDATED (AP) — C.J. Anderson is shining in the playoffs just as he did in 2015 for the Denver Broncos. Anderson has topped 100 yards in all three of his games for the Rams and now he gives Los Angeles a 1-2 punch with Todd Gurley back healthy. Anderson was jettisoned by the Broncos, Panthers and Raiders this season, three teams sitting out this playoff party.
