NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw a 23-yard touchdown to Adam Humphries with 23 seconds left, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-32 to spoil the return of NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes. The Titans only had a chance after a bad snap by the Chiefs on Harrison Butker’s fifth field goal attempt of the day ended with a botched snap. The Titans blocked Butker’s sixth attempt to seal the win.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The reigning NFL MVP is back and healthy as ever for the Kansas City Chiefs. Now Patrick Mahomes and his teammates have some room for improvement. Mahomes threw for a season-high 446 yards with three touchdowns, but the Chiefs had too many penalties and settled for too many field goal attempts that wound up costing Kansas City in a 35-32 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs also had some more offensive linemen hurt with the defense giving up 188 yards rushing to Derrick Henry.

CAPE GIRARDEAU TOWNSHIP, Mo. (AP) — Chris Harris scored 16 points and his 3-pointer with 27 seconds left sent Southeast Missouri State past Purdue Fort Wayne 79-78. The Redhawks extended their 40-32 halftime lead to 15 points (51-36) when Isaiah Gable buried a 3-pointer with 16:39 remaining.
