Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Marcus Mariota led Tennessee to three second-half touchdowns, incredibly throwing one of his TD passes to himself, and the Titans rallied from a 21-3 halftime hole to beat Kansas City 22-21 for their first playoff win in 14 years. The come-from-behind win also denied the Chiefs their first home playoff win in nearly a quarter century.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs’ playoff curse continued with a 22-21 loss to the Titans, blowing a 21-3 halftime lead in the process. Kansas City still has not won a postseason game at Arrowhead Stadium since January 1994, a maddening stretch of nearly a quarter century.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Vincent Edwards scored 21 points and Isaac Haas added 14 to lead No. 13 Purdue past Nebraska 74-62 for its 11th consecutive win. The Boilermakers extended their home-court winning streak to 18 and won their 10th straight home game against a conference foe. James Palmer Jr. finished with 22 points and Isaac Copeland had 16 to lead the Cornhuskers. Nebraska’s four-game winning streak ended.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Jeffrey Carroll scored 24 points and Kendall Smith added a season-high 20 to help Oklahoma State defeat Iowa State 96-87 in overtime. It was the first Big 12 victory for new coach Mike Boynton and snapped Iowa State’s 10-game win streak against the Cowboys. Tavarius Shine scored 15 points and Mitchell Solomon added 14 points and nine rebounds for Oklahoma State.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Toby Hegner made a career-high five 3-pointers in scoring 19 points and Creighton defeated Georgetown 90-66. Hegner made 5 of 8 3-point tries and the Blue Jays (13-3, 3-1 Big East) hit 16 of 36 from the arc in winning their third straight game and eighth in their past nine.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Marcus Mariota led Tennessee to three second-half touchdowns, incredibly throwing one of his TD passes to himself , and the Titans rallied from a 21-3 deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-21 on Saturday for their first playoff win in 14 years.
Mariota threw for 205 yards and two scores, including the 22-yard go-ahead strike to Eric Decker with just over six minutes left that ushered the Titans into the divisional round of the playoffs.
“Special, special,” Mariota said. “I’m a part of a great team. I’m a part of a group of guys that really just believe in each other. And, it’s something special and I’m look forward to playing next week.”
They’ll head to New England or Pittsburgh next week.
Derrick Henry had a career-high 156 yards rushing and another score for Tennessee (10-7), while a defense that was fileted by Alex Smith and the Chiefs (10-7) during the first half pitched a shutout in the second half — dooming the Kansas City franchise to another humiliating postseason defeat.
The Chiefs haven’t won a home playoff game since January 1994.
Smith threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns , but most of that came before halftime. He couldn’t get on track in the second half and misfired on fourth-and-9 at the Titans 44 with just over two minutes to go, denying the Chiefs a chance for Harrison Butker to kick a go-ahead field goal.
The letdown was made even more depressing when Henry appeared to fumble as Tennessee tried to run out the clock.
The Chiefs’ Derrick Johnson picked up the ball and returned it for a touchdown with 1:47 to go, but a video replay showed that Henry was down and the call was overturned.
Tennessee succeeded in running out the clock from there.
In the first half, the Chiefs looked every bit the team that had won four straight in convincing fashion, and the Titans looked every bit the team that backed into the playoffs.
Kareem Hunt, the league’s top rusher this season , plunged in from 1 yard for a 7-0 lead, and Smith hit Travis Kelce with a 13-yard touchdown pass a few minutes later. Smith added another touchdown toss to Demarcus Robinson on the final offensive play for a 21-3 lead at the break.
Smith was 19 of 23 for 231 yards in the half. Mariota was 7 of 13 for 81 yards and a pick.
The Titans’ young quarterback got on track in the second half, though, converting a couple of key third downs — one of them with his legs — in marching his team 91 yards. He capped it by throwing the first TD pass to himself, the first player to accomplish the feat in playoff history.
The previous player to do it in any game was the Vikings’ Brad Johnson during the 1997 season.
“Right place, right time,” Mariota said with a smile.
Tennessee nearly squandered its momentum when Adoree Jackson fumbled a punt, but the Chiefs were unable to pick up a first down and Butker knocked a 48-yard field goal off the upright.
This time, it was Henry who led the Titans downfield, capping another TD drive by rumbling nearly untouched 35 yards right up the middle to get within 21-16 with 14:08 to go.
“Grit. It’s just grit,” Henry said of his team’s rally.
“You’ve got to believe in each other, man. We were down like this last year and we came back. We told them we’ve got 30 minutes left, all we’ve got to do is play our game, execute the plays and everything will take care of itself.”
The Chiefs’ offense had been rendered impotent by that point, unable to move the ball much after Kelce left with a concussion in the first half. The Titans blanketed Tyreek Hill whenever he touched the ball, and they stacked the box to slow Hunt down in obvious rushing situations.
The Titans finally pulled ahead when Mariota threw a strike to Decker from 22 yards, and that led to a moment of controversy. The Titans went for a 2-point conversion and the field-goal edge, and Mariota lost the ball as he was getting sacked by the Chiefs’ Daniel Sorenson.
Frank Zombo picked it up and began running for two points that would have swung the lead back to Kansas City, but the officials had ruled that Mariota’s progress had been stopped.
It wound up being a crucial call in a game that came down to the wire.
RECORD RALLY
Only two road teams have rallied from at least 18 down to win a playoff game in NFL history. The Cowboys came back from 21-3 down in the first half to beat the 49ers 30-28 in December 1972, and the Lions came back from 27-7 in the second half to beat the 49ers in December 1957.
KELCE HURT
Kelce sustained a concussion on a wicked blow from Titans S Johnathan Cyprien late in the first half. Kelce, who had four catches for 66 yards, lay stunned on the turf for a moment before wobbling toward his huddle. Trainers quickly took him to the locker room.
UP NEXT
The Titans’ opponent in the divisional round will be decided Sunday. If the Jaguars beat the Bills in their wild-card matchup, Tennessee heads to New England to face the No. 1 seed. If Buffalo wins, the Titans head to face No. 2 seed Pittsburgh.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Reed Timmer scored 10 of his 18 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes, including a pair of free throws with two seconds remaining, to lift Drake to a 75-72 victory over Indiana State on Saturday.
After Brandon Murphy’s 3-point play pulled Indiana State within 60-59 with six minutes left, Timmer buried a 3-pointer and added a layup off a turnover to push Drake’s lead to 65-59. Brenton Scott’s 3 cut the deficit to three, but Timmer scored from long range to push the advantage to 70-64 with 2:22 left to play. Jordan Barnes knocked down two 3-pointers, the second one pulling the Sycamores within 73-72 with four seconds left.
De’Antae McMurray scored 18 of his 25 points in the first half and the Bulldogs (10-7, 4-0 Missouri Valley Conference) led 39-29 at intermission. Nick McGlynn added 14 points for Drake, which shot 53 percent from the floor.
Scott tied his season high with 25 points and set a career high with seven steals for the Sycamores (7-9, 2-2). Brandon Murphy chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Barnes scored 14 with six assists.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Jeffrey Carroll scored 24 points and Kendall Smith added a season-high 20 to help Oklahoma State defeat Iowa State 96-87 in overtime on Saturday. It was the first Big 12 victory for new coach Mike Boynton, and it snapped Iowa State’s 10-game win streak against the Cowboys.
Donovan Jackson scored a career-high 30 points for Iowa State. It was a heartbreaking loss for the Cyclones. Now, they are 0-3 in league play and have yet to play any of the league’s currently ranked teams.
The Cyclones will play at No. 10 Kansas on Tuesday.
The AHSTW Vikings had a huge fourth quarter that carried them to a hard fought victory over Audubon on Friday night in Audubon 74-57.
It was a tie game after the first quarter 19-19 and then Audubon led 32-29 at half. The Wheelers led by two heading to the fourth 51-49. It was a back and forth tight game throughout until the Vikings made the only run they needed in the fourth. The Vikings started the fourth on a 16-2 run led by Jake Martin who had 14 of his team- leading 27 points in the final period.
RJ Harris and Jack Paulson both added 19 for the Vikings who improved to 7-2 with the win.
Tate Killeen had a great game for a Audubon with 30 points. The Wheelers fell to 6-4 on the year.
