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

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw a 23-yard touchdown to Adam Humphries with 23 seconds left, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-32 to spoil the return of NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes. The Titans only had a chance after a bad snap by the Chiefs on Harrison Butker’s fifth field goal attempt of the day ended with a botched snap. The Titans blocked Butker’s sixth attempt to seal the win.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The reigning NFL MVP is back and healthy as ever for the Kansas City Chiefs. Now Patrick Mahomes and his teammates have some room for improvement. Mahomes threw for a season-high 446 yards with three touchdowns, but the Chiefs had too many penalties and settled for too many field goal attempts that wound up costing Kansas City in a 35-32 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs also had some more offensive linemen hurt with the defense giving up 188 yards rushing to Derrick Henry.

CAPE GIRARDEAU TOWNSHIP, Mo. (AP) — Chris Harris scored 16 points and his 3-pointer with 27 seconds left sent Southeast Missouri State past Purdue Fort Wayne 79-78. The Redhawks extended their 40-32 halftime lead to 15 points (51-36) when Isaiah Gable buried a 3-pointer with 16:39 remaining.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Snow and bitter cold has fallen across much of Nebraska and Iowa at the start of the work week. Roads along, and primarily north of I-80 are partially to completely covered with snow, including Highway 71 and Hwy 6 to Griswold. The National Weather Service says much of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa is likely to see 1-to-2 inches of snow by early today. Some parts of eastern Iowa could receive 4-to-6 inches of snow.

CHICAGO (AP) — A suburban Chicago post office has been named in honor of a member of the famed all-black Tuskegee Airmen who flew scores of missions in World War II. The Daily Southtown reported Wednesday that Robert Martin was honored at a ceremony at Olympia Fields Village Hall. Robert Martin’s three children then headed to the post office where a plaque commemorating their father was unveiled. Martin lived in Olympia Fields from 2008 until his death at age 99 in July 2018.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Voting in the Democratic presidential primary is less than three months away, and the field of candidates remains crowded. Roughly a half-dozen Democrats in the very bottom tier of the presidential primary are soldiering on, hoping that even after months of campaigning without catching fire in polling that there’s still a chance. A Colorado Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet, says he believes the eventual nominee is as likely to be someone polling at 1% today as it is to be one of those leading.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A 19-year-old Iowa man has been sentenced to up to 100 years in prison for the death of his 8-month-old daughter after he pleaded guilty to several charges. The Des Moines Register reports that Jayden Straight pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder and several related charges as part of an agreement with prosecutors. Straight’s daughter died in July 2018 after suffering serious internal injuries.

Titans rally, spoil Mahomes’ return beating Chiefs 35-32

Sports

November 10th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw a 23-yard touchdown to Adam Humphries with 23 seconds left, and the Tennessee Titans blocked a last-second field goal attempt to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-32 to spoil the return of NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes. The Titans (5-5) only had a chance to take the lead after a bad snap by the Chiefs on Harrison Butker’s fifth field goal attempt of the day. The snap caught holder Dustin Colquitt by surprise, and he threw the ball away in desperation for an intentional grounding call, setting the Titans up at their own 39.
Tannehill scrambled for 18, hit Anthony Firsker for 20 yards and then found Humphries who ran in for the TD. Tannehill also ran for the 2-point conversion for a 35-32 lead.

The Chiefs (6-4) had a final chance with Mahomes. He drove them down, setting up Butker for another field goal try from 52 yards. Joshua Kalu blocked the kick with his left hand, and the Titans poured onto the field to celebrate. Derrick Henry ran for 188 yards, including a 68-yard TD that put Tennessee up 20-19 with 5:58 left in the third. His 1-yard TD with 6:26 remaining pulled the Titans within 29-27. Tannehill finished with 181 yards passing and ran for 37 yards for the win.

The loss spoiled the best passing game this season for Mahomes as the Chiefs outgained the Titans 530-371. Mahomes threw for 446 yards and three touchdowns. His best play came with the pocket collapsing around him when he jumped up to throw over the linemen to Mecole Hardman who ran for a 63-yard TD with 11:54 left and a 29-20 lead. Mahomes looked very healthy playing for the first time since dislocating his right kneecap Oct. 17. He got lucky when his first pass first ruled an interception was overturned by replay for Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro trapping the ball on the ground. Mahomes capped the Chiefs’ first drive with a 3-yard shovel pass to Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs sacked Tannehill four times and also forced a fumble but could only turn that into one of Butker’s four made field goals. Tannehill got the Titans going with a 52-yard throw to Kalif Raymond, then he hit Anthony Firkser for a 9-yard TD. Then rookie linebacker David Long forced a fumble by Damien Williams, and linebacker Rashaan Evans picked up the ball, juked away from Mahomes and ran 53 yards for a TD and a 13-10 lead with 6:14 left in the second quarter.
INJURIES
The Chiefs came in with left tackle Eric Fisher still healing up from a groin injury that has kept him out all but the first two games of the season, and right guard Laurent Durvernay-Tardif missing a second game with an ankle. Late in the first half, Kansas City lost an offensive lineman on consecutive plays. First, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz hurt a knee and went to the sideline, snapping the NFL’s longest active snap streak at 7,894 snaps. Then Martinas Rankin, who started at right guard, moved over a spot and hurt his right knee on the next play. He was carted to the locker room and did not return.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: Play Chargers in Mexico City on Nov. 18.
Titans: Bye, then host the Jaguars on Nov. 24.
