KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have traded backup running back Knile Davis to the Green Bay Packers for a conditional draft pick, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.

The Kansas City Star first reported the trade.

The Packers were desperate for running back depth with Eddie Lacy nursing a bothersome ankle and James Starks undergoing knee surgery. Lacy was their only active running back against Dallas on Sunday.

Davis had been passed over by Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West on the Chiefs’ depth chart, and the return of Jamaal Charles from his knee injury made him expendable.

Peter Jok has accepted his role as the leader of the Iowa basketball team. The senior from Des Moines is the lone starter returning from a team that spent part of last season ranked in the top ten and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Jok says it may be a young Iowa team but it is a talented group.

Jok placed his name into the NBA Draft at the end of last season before deciding to return to school. He says the experience made him a better player.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It took the Kansas City Chiefs four games and a bye week ruminating over an embarrassing loss to Pittsburgh before they finally were able to execute their blueprint for victory. The Oakland Raiders wound up on the receiving end of it.

In a crucial AFC West matchup on Sunday, the Chiefs were able to dictate the tempo of the game with their robust ground game and to put quarterback Alex Smith into smart passing situations. The Chiefs’ defense also made life miserable for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr.

Smith acknowledges the Chiefs’ frustrations had been mounting. He deflected much of the praise to the team’s running backs. The Chiefs ran for 183 yards and passed for 223 — the kind of split they believe is ideal to get a win. Smith had his best day of the season, going 19-of-23 even without throwing a touchdown pass.
