Midwest Sports Brief: 10/3/17

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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker drilled a 43-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in his first career game, atoning for an earlier miss and helping Kansas City to a 29-20 victory over the Washington Redskins. The Chiefs are the only unbeaten team left in the NFL through Week 4, the first time there’s been only one left standing since 2010.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Redskins and Chiefs stood for a moment of silence before the national anthem, and flags flew at half-staff over Arrowhead Stadium, to honor victims of the Las Vegas shooting before Monday night’s game. The deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history Sunday night left at least 59 concertgoers dead and more than 500 injured.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The banged-up Chiefs offensive line lost right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to a right knee injury on their second offensive play against Washington. Kansas City was already without starting center Mitch Morse and backup guard Parker Ehinger.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher was active against the Redskins after he was questionable with a back injury that caused him to miss a pair of practices. The Redskins had listed six players as questionable and all were active, including running back Rob Kelley and tight end Jordan Reed.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals finished the season with a record of 83-79, three games worse than last year. They failed to make the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time since 2007-2008. Team officials say the cupboard isn’t bare and an overhaul is not needed. Rookie Luke Weaver went 7-2 and looks to be a prime candidate for the rotation in 2018. Carlos Martinez, Michael Wacha and Adam Wainwright are in the mix, while free agent Lance Lynn could be done.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals’ core of Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain are about to hit free agency now that their season is over. One or two of them could be brought back next season, but the finances of baseball means Kansas City is likely to begin a long rebuilding process with an influx of young players.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska faces back-to-back games against top-10 opponents in Wisconsin and Ohio State and then a tricky road game at Purdue. The three games could go a long way in determining how the season and coach Mike Riley are judged. Riley is 18-13 in three seasons at Nebraska. The Huskers have won two games after a stunning home loss to Northern Illinois and athletic director Shawn Eichorst was fired.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — No. 9 Wisconsin is turning up the pressure, and after swarming Northwestern for eight sacks, the Badgers have their sights set on Nebraska this weekend. The Badgers are averaging 4 sacks per game, tied for fourth nationally and second in the conference. Defensive end Alec James said more speed in the secondary has helped the defense across the aboard. Outside linebacker Garret Dooley led the way last week with three sacks.

Butker’s field goals send Chiefs to 29-20 win over Redskins

Sports

October 3rd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker drilled a 43-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in his first career game, atoning for an earlier miss and helping Kansas City to a 29-20 victory over the Washington Redskins on Monday night.

Signed off the Carolina practice squad earlier in the week, Butker missed a 46-yarder in the first half before hitting three attempts in the second. The first tied the score 17-all, the next gave the Chiefs the lead and the last made Kansas City (4-0) the league’s only undefeated team.

The Chiefs put an exclamation point on the win when linebacker Justin Houston picked up a fumble as the Redskins (3-2) were trying to keep the game alive and returned it for a game-ending touchdown.

The last time there was only one unbeaten team through the first four weeks of the season was 2010, when the Chiefs were the final team standing. They went on to win the AFC West.

Flags flew at half-staff and there was a moment of silence before the game for victims of the Las Vegas shooting. The Redskins then locked arms for the national anthem, while everyone on the Chiefs side stood with the exception of cornerback Peters and linebacker Ukeme Eligwe.

Redskins cornerback Josh Norman departed in the second quarter with a rib injury , and his backup Quinton Dunbar left early in the fourth. Running back Rob Kelley and safety Deshazor Everett also left with injuries for Washington, while Chiefs right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif was sidelined by a left knee injury on their second offensive play.

UP NEXT: Washington gets a bye week before hosting San Francisco on Oct. 13.; Kansas City returns to the road to face Houston on Sunday night.

Banged-up Chiefs offensive line loses Duvernay-Tardiff

Sports

October 2nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The banged-up Kansas City Chiefs offensive line lost right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to a left knee injury on their second offensive play Monday night against Washington.

Duvernay-Tardif, who signed a five-year, $41.25 million contract extension earlier this year, was blocking for Kareem Hunt when his knee got rolled over at an awkward angle. He remained on the field for a few minutes before the training staff helped him to the sideline.

The Chiefs were already playing without center Mitch Morse, who missed his second straight game with a foot sprain, and backup guard Parker Ehinger, who had surgery for a torn ACL last year.

Left tackle Eric Fisher missed practice with back spasms this week but started the game.
