UNDATED (AP) — The NFL postponed this week’s game between New England and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs after “positive COVID-19 tests on both teams.” Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list released on Saturday afternoon. The NFL says the game originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon will be played Monday or Tuesday.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Shane Illingworth threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns, Chuba Hubbard ran for 145 yards and two more scores, and No. 17 Oklahoma State was able to rest its starters the final 20 minutes of its 47-7 blowout of Kansas on Saturday. Tylan Wallace had nine catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, and Braylon Johnson had four catches for 74 yards and the other passing TD, as the Cowboys (3-0, 2-0 Big 12) built a 31-0 lead by halftime and never looked back. Kansas (0-3, 0-2) finished with just 193 yards of total offense.

UNDATED (AP) — Pete Rose and others around the baseball world are remembering Bob Gibson, the great St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who died Friday at age 84. Gibson posted more than 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, and was always at his best in October, when he was dominant in the World Series. Gibson was known for his fierce and fearsome presence on the mound, and had a reputation for knocking down hitters and plunking them with pitches. After his career, Gibson contended that “I didn’t do half the things they said I did.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Eric Gray and Ty Chandler combined to rush for 195 yards and scored touchdowns to lead No. 21 Tennessee to a 35-12 victory over Missouri. The victory was the Vols (2-0) eighth in a row, tying them with Notre Dame for the most among Power 5 teams. Connor Bazelak relieved Shawn Robinson at quarterback in the second quarter or Missouri (0-2), but the Tigers could still only muster one touchdown. Jarrett Guarantano played a mistake-free game for Tennessee, completing 14 of 23 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. He also converted on three fourth-down runs in the first quarter and had two short rushing touchdown.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Deuce Vaughn had a rushing touchdown and another receiving, Will Howard threw for 173 yards and a score and Kansas State held off Texas Tech for a 31-21 win. Up 24-21 with two minutes left, Howard found Vaughn across the middle on third down for a 70-yard touchdown pass to seal the win. Henry Colombi threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Xavier White added 113 yards rushing and a score on 12 carries for Texas Tech, which lost its ninth game in 10 tries against the Wildcats. Both starting quarterbacks spent more time in the locker room than the field after suffering injuries in the first half.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Tony Schumacher powered to his first No. 1 qualifier since 2018, breaking the track speed Saturday in the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway. Schumacher, the eight-time Top Fuel season champion, returned to racing in July after not competing last year, had a 3.680-second run at 332.92 mph in the rain-delayed session for his 88th career No. 1 qualifier. The 50-year-old star has a record 84 Top Fuel event victories. Paul Lee topped Funny Car for his first No. 1, running a 3.913 at 326.95 in his Toyota Camry. Only one run of qualifying was completed in Top Fuel and Funny Car because of the rain. Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle were unable to make qualifying attempts.

HOUSTON (AP) — Alan Pulido had his first multi-goal game in MLS, Gianluca Busio had two assists, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Houston Dynamo 2-0. Pulido opened the scoring in the 34th minute and his sliding first-timer in the 73rd made it 2-0. Sporting (7-5-2) snapped a two-game skid. Sam Junqua, a 23-year-old defender, scored his first MLS goal for the Dynamo in the 84th minute. Houston (3-5-7) is winless, with three losses, in its last six games.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Breece Hall scored the go-ahead touchdown on an 8-yard run with 4:06 left and Isheem Young intercepted Spencer Rattler’s pass in the end zone on No. 18 Oklahoma’s final drive, giving Iowa State a 37-30 victory Saturday night.

The Sooners, beaten at home by Kansas State last week, lost back-to-back regular-season games for the first time since 1999. They lost in Ames for the first time since 1960.

The Cyclones wore down the Sooners with the running of Hall, who rushed for 139 yards. Iowa State’s Brock Purdy passed for 254 yards and had a 2-yard touchdown run to tie it at 30.

Here is the latest sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — Hall of Famer Bob Gibson, the dominating St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who won seven consecutive World Series starts and set a modern standard for excellence when he finished the 1968 season with an earned run average of 1.12, has died. The two-time Cy Young Award winner spent his entire 17-year career with the Cardinals and was named World Series MVP in their 1964 and ’67 championship seasons. He came up short in 1968, although he was named the National League’s MVP and won the Cy Young. Gibson died Friday in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, at the age of 84.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres are in the NL Division Series following a 4-0 shutout of the St. Louis Cardinals. San Diego went the bullpen route to close out the Wild Card Series as nine pitchers combined on a four-hitter in the Padres’ second straight win. Eric Hosmer broke a scoreless tie in the fifth with an RBI double off losing pitcher Jack Flaherty, who allowed six hits while striking out eight over six innings.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Miami Marlins won their first playoff series in 17 years by completing a two-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs, 2-0 in the NL Wild Card Series. The game was scoreless until Garrett Cooper homered off Yu Darvish in a two-run seventh. Brad Boxberger threw 1 1/3 innings to get the win in relief of hard-throwing rookie Sixto Sánchez, who limited the Cubs to four hits over five innings.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled over the years to stop the run, regardless of who was directing their defense, but they showed in last week’s win over the Baltimore Ravens that they could rise to the challenge. They have another big one this weekend. The New England Patriots roll into Arrowhead Stadium behind new quarterback Cam Newton, himself a threat to run, and a backfield that just went roughshod over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend. Sony Michel needed just nine carries to pile up 117 yards, Rex Burkhead reached the end zone three times and the Patriots totaled 250 yards rushing in the win.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Anthony Davis and LeBron James provided performances that were near duplicates of their Game 1 efforts in the NBA Finals, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-114 victory and a 2-0 series lead over the Miami Heat. James finished with 33 points, nine rebounds and nine assists after falling one assist short of a triple-double in the opener. Davis hit 14 of his first 15 shots on the way to 32 points, just two fewer than his Game 1 output.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Craig Stammen and eight fellow relievers combined on a four-hitter in a brilliant, record-setting effort that sent the Padres over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 Friday night in the deciding Game 3 of their NL wild-card series. The Padres won a postseason series for the first time in 22 years and advanced to face the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers in a division series in Arlington, Texas, starting Tuesday. The Padres became the first team in baseball history to use eight or more pitchers in three straight postseason games.

The Atlantic Trojans got three second half rushing touchdowns from Bodie Johnson and pushed away to a 28-0 road win over Shenandoah on Friday night. The Trojans locked up the 2A-District 9 title with the win. It was a penalty filled contest and both teams couldn’t convert in the first half. Atlantic led at the break 7-0 on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Garrett McLaren to Colin Mullenix.

The Trojans broke the game open in the 3rd quarter. Colton Tasto sparked the turnaround by plucking a pitch from Shenandoah quarterback Zayne Zwickel out of the air and taking it inside the Mustangs 5 yard line. Bodie Johnson rammed it in to the endzone on the next play to put Atlantic up 14-0. Johnson added a 25-yarder later in the quarter and a 24-yard touchdown run early in the fourth to complete the scoring.

Johnson finished the game with 155 yards on 17 carries and the three scores. Colin Mullenix had just two grabs on the night but he gobbled up 76 yards on those catches and the early touchdown. The Trojans outgained the Mustangs 281-159 on offense. The downside was Atlantic getting penalized 14 times for 130 yards on the night. The Mustangs were called for 6 penalties for 75 yards. Each team turned the ball over twice.

The Trojans improve to 5-1 with the win and will finish off the regular season next week against Red Oak. It will be the Trojans first game at the newly renovated Trojan Bowl and we’ll have coverage on KJAN and KJANTV. Shenandoah falls to 3-3 and will host Greene County for their final regular season game.
