KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jay Cutler led Chicago to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, including an alert toss to running back Matt Forte with 18 seconds left, giving the Bears a stunning 18-17 victory over Kansas City.
The 2-3 Bears trailed 17-3 early in the third quarter when Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles went down with a potentially serious knee injury. The preliminary diagnosis was a torn ACL and Charles will have an MRI exam Monday.
Cutler threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns, the first a 22-yard strike to Marquess Wilson with 3:05 left in the game. After the Bears forced a quick three-and-out, Cutler drove them inside the 10-yard line, where he spotted Forte in the end zone.
The 1-4 Chiefs tried a 66-yard field goal that came up short as time expired.
CHICAGO (AP) – St. Louis manager Mike Matheny says the Cardinals are preparing for Game 3 of the NL Division Series in “the same boring way” they have all season long. The Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs are tied at one game apiece heading into the first playoff game at Wrigley Field in seven years. Oh, the Cubs also will have Jake Arrieta on the mound on Monday night for his first start since he shut out Pittsburgh in the wild-card game.
Matheny says the Cardinals have been counted out before against ace pitchers in the postseason, and then had success. But the NL Central champions are heading for quite a challenge in Arrieta, who hasn’t lost at home since July 25. Arrieta says the Cubs are “in a great spot.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Kyle Hendricks and Addison Russell had successful squeeze bunts and Jorge Soler capped a five-run second with a two-run homer, and the Chicago Cubs held off the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 on Saturday night to even their NL Division series at a game apiece.
Manager Joe Maddon made all the right moves a night after the Cubs lost the opener 4-0. Now the series shifts to Wrigley Field for Game 3 Monday, where Chicago’s 22-game winner Jake Arrieta faces St. Louis’ Michael Wacha in the best-of-five series.
The usually steady NL Central champion Cardinals made two errors as the Cubs didn’t hit the ball out of the infield in scoring their first three runs in the second.
Playing in his first postseason game, Soler connected off Jaime Garcia (0-1), who was lifted because of a stomach ailment after the second inning.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Conley Wilkins ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass as Drake rolled over Valparaiso 31-7 in Pioneer League play on Saturday. Wilkins rushed for 59 yards on 12 carries for the Bulldogs (3-3, 2-1). Andy Rice threw for 112 yards and a score and Josh Lee kicked two field goals.
After running for a pair of touchdowns in the first half, Wilkins caught his third, a 12-yard pass from Rice on fourth down, to give the Bulldogs a 21-0 lead early in the third quarter. Then Brock Reichardt ran for a 4-yard score to make it 28-0. Lee drilled a 37-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to put Drake up 31-0 with 10:55 to play.
Valparaiso finally scored on a 17-yard pass from Ryan Clarke to Frank Catrine with 8:05 remaining. Clarke finished with 165 yards passing for the Crusaders (2-4, 1-2).
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Carson Wentz threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Darrius Shepherd with 35 seconds remaining to lift North Dakota State over Northern Iowa 31-28 in a game between two top-10 FCS teams on Saturday. After Northern Iowa (2-3, 0-2 Missouri Valley) missed a 38-yard field-goal attempt, Wentz led a 10-play, 79-yard drive capped by Shepherd’s twisting catch while blanketed by two defenders in the corner of the end zone.
Wentz threw 33 yards to Shepherd with 7:49 left to lead 24-21 but on the first play after the ensuing kickoff Northern Iowa’s Aaron Bailey broke loose for an 83-yard scoring run. Wentz finished 26 of 40 for 335 yards and four scores but also threw his first two interceptions this season. Wentz had 143 attempts without a pick until then.
Bailey ran for 157 yards and Daurice Fountain had 110 yards receiving for the Panthers. The Bison (4-1, 2-0) have won four straight.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia was removed due to a stomach virus after two shaky innings of Game 2 in the NL Division Series. Garcia badly blew a play on a safety squeeze by pitcher Kyle Hendricks that led to the Cubs’ five-run second inning and was victimized by another successful squeeze the next at-bat.
Though none of the runs were earned, the lefty’s first postseason start since 2012 was a disaster. He left trailing 5-1. The team made the announcement before the fifth inning.
