KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kareem Hunt ran for 116 yards and a touchdown, the Chiefs shut down Derek Carr and Raiders offense and Kansas City held on to beat Oakland 26-15 on Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak.

The suddenly stingy Chiefs (7-6) also made a big statement in the crowded AFC West race. They entered the game tied atop the division standings with the Raiders (6-7) and the Chargers, who played Washington later Sunday and visit Kansas City on Saturday night.

Alex Smith threw for 268 yards and Charcandrick West had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who held the Raiders without points until Marshawn Lynch’s 22-yard touchdown run with 8:51 to go. By that point, the Chiefs were cruising toward their 14th win in 15 divisional games.

Carr was 24 of 41 for 211 yards with a touchdown and two picks, a far cry from his performance when the teams met in October. Carr threw for 417 yards and three touchdowns that day, including the winning toss to Michael Crabtree on the final play of the game.

That loss was part of a midseason swoon for Kansas City, which started 5-0 but lost six of seven to fall into a tie for the division lead — and put its once-solid playoff prospects in peril. The Chiefs gave them a boost again Sunday behind a defense that was shredded by the New York Jets last week, and that was missing All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters.

The volatile young star was suspended by coach Andy Reid this week for a series of embarrassing incidents, including the throwing of an official’s flag into the stands in the Meadowlands. The trio of Steven Nelson, Darrelle Revis and Terrance Mitchell more than made up for him.

So did Kansas City’s offense, which produced for the second straight week as offensive coordinator Matt Nagy called the plays. The Chiefs got four field goals from Harrison Butker, along with their two touchdown runs, and didn’t have to punt until the fourth quarter.

The Raiders tried to make it interesting late, recovering an onside kick after Lynch’s TD run. Carr connected with Jared Cook on fourth down for another score, and the 2-point conversion trimmed what had been a 26-0 deficit to 26-15 in a matter of minutes. But after receiving the kickoff, the Chiefs’ Albert Wilson made a juggling catch to convert a third down, and that allowed the reigning AFC West champs to mostly run out the clock.

UP NEXT: The Chiefs get another AFC West contender when the Chargers visit Saturday night.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says reliever Luke Gregerson and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to an $11 million, two-year contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because the agreement was subject to a physical and had not yet been announced.

Gregerson would get $5 million in each of the next two seasons, and the deal includes a $6 million team option for 2020 with a $1 million buyout. A 33-year-old right-hander, Gregerson struck out 70 in 61 innings for Houston, going 2-3 with a career-high 4.57 ERA in 65 relief appearances.

He did not allow a run in five postseason appearances as the Astros won their first title. Gregerson, a specialist used against right-handed hitters, stuck out Chris Taylor to strand two runners in the fourth inning in Game 5. He got the first two outs in the eighth inning of Game 6, allowing a walk and a single.

Gregerson has pitched in nine big league seasons for San Diego (2009-13), Oakland (2014) and Houston (2015-17), which signed him to an $18.5 million, three-year contract. He played for the U.S. at this year’s World Baseball Classic.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Reed Timmer scored 27 points with six 3-pointers, including three straight 3s in a game-breaking run, and Drake beat Omaha 93-74 on Saturday night to snap a three-game skid.

Jalen Gibbs scored 16 points and C.J. Rivers and Casey Schlatter added 10 apiece for Drake (5-4), who avenged a 75-73 loss to the Mavericks on Nov. 29.

Omaha scored eight straight and tied it at 47 on Zach Jackson’s 3-point play, but Timmer hit 12 straight points in a 14-2 run, including three consecutive 3-pointers, and Drake led 61-49 on Jalen Gibbs’ layup with 13:04 left to play. Graham Woodward’s jumper capped a 10-0 run and Drake led by 22 on his 3 with 1:23 to go.

Drake was outshot 52.6 percent to 50 percent from the floor, but made 15 of 31 3-pointers (48.4 percent) and had only five turnovers.

Jackson scored 13 points with 13 rebounds for his first career double-double. Daniel Norl also scored 13, KJ Robinson had 11 and JT Gibson 10 for Omaha (1-10), which has lost three straight.
