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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Packers and Chiefs met more than 50 years ago in the first Super Bowl, pitting the best from the NFL against the best from the AFL. Fourteen players who took the field that day at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum would land in the Hall of Fame, including quarterbacks Bart Starr and Len Dawson. The Packers triumphed 35-10 in a game that was a far cry from the event the Super Bowl would become in more recent years.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — No. 23 Iowa State will take a three-game winning streak into Saturday’s home game against Oklahoma State. The Cyclones are 5-2 so far this season and struggled early. Coach Matt Campbell says it took a while for his young players in skill positions to get settled. Now that they have, Iowa State is rolling.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Nowhere did Wisconsin’s stunning loss at Illinois reverberate more than in Iowa City. The upset gave the 20th-ranked Hawkeyes new life in the Big Ten West. In recent weeks, Iowa hasn’t looked like a team that is ready to seize such an opportunity. Iowa plays at Northwestern this weekend.
