PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes drew raves for his four-touchdown performance in a season-opening win over the Chargers. Now Mahomes will try to help the Chiefs beat the Steelers on the road for the first time in 31 years. Mahomes says he’s not worried about his team’s spotty history against Pittsburgh. The Steelers are looking to rebound from an ugly season-opening tie in Cleveland in which they turned the ball over six times.

UNDATED (AP) — Tony Gonzalez is the most accomplished tight end in NFL history. He’s now a nominee for the 2019 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So is safety Ed Reed.

The field will be pared to 25 semifinalists in November and 15 finalists in January.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Big 12 is in the spotlight this week with a series of games against Power Five schools, to say nothing of Oklahoma State’s game against Boise State. The highlight is No. 15 TCU against fourth-ranked Ohio State. But whether it’s Kansas-Rutgers or Texas-Southern California, the league has a chance to make a national statement.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Magazine and broadcasting company Meredith is laying off 200 more people as it continues to cut costs after buying Time Inc. earlier this year. Meredith spokesman Art Slusark said Thursday that most of the job cuts are in the New York area, but 25 will be eliminated in Birmingham, Alabama, and another 15 will be cut at the company’s headquarters in Des Moines.
Since the Time acquisition, Meredith has eliminate about 1,800 jobs and 800 other employees have left the company.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State University says Gov. Kim Reynolds paid for her family’s tickets to the Liberty Bowl nearly one month after the game. School spokesman John McCarroll said Thursday that Reynolds paid $380 to cover the cost of four tickets with a personal check dated January 27, 2018, four weeks after the Cyclones defeated Memphis 21-20. The reason for the delayed payment wasn’t immediately clear.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Reynolds and three relatives accepted a free flight to the game on an airplane owned by Sedgwick, which administers state workers’ compensation claims.
Iowa’s gift law bars public officials from accepting anything worth $3 from contractors and lobbyists.
But Reynolds received approval from an ethics regulator to accept the flight as a campaign contribution from Sedgwick’s CEO Dave North, one of her top donors. North says he reimbursed Sedgwick for the cost.
Reynolds’ campaign says she met with donors during the day trip.
