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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Harrison Butker matched a career long with a 54-yard field goal to tie the game in the fourth quarter, then drilled a 44-yarder as time expired to give the Chiefs a heart-stopping 26-23 victory over the Vikings on Sunday. The first person to greet Butker in celebration was Patrick Mahomes, who missed his second straight game with a knee injury. Matt Moore started in his place and threw for 275 yards and a score.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — After knocking off then-No. 5 Oklahoma in a game far more lopsided than the 48-41 final score, Kansas State romped to a 38-10 victory over rival Kansas on Saturday. And that score also was not indicative of the way the Wildcats manhandled their neighbors just down Interstate 70. It served notice to the Big 12, and perhaps the nation, that new coach Chris Klieman’s team is on the rise.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have declined their half of Alex Gordon’s $23 million mutual option for 2020, allowing the outfielder to become a free agent. Gordon had exercised his part of the option. He will receive a $4 million buyout, completing a $72 million, four-year contract. A three-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner, Gordon helped the Royals win the 2015 World Series for their first title since 1985. He batted .266 this year with 13 homers and 76 RBIs for the rebuilding Royals.
