UNDATED (AP) — When the Kansas City Chiefs beat the heavily favored Minnesota Vikings in the fourth edition of the Super Bowl, the result marked the second straight time the AFL team took down an opponent from the supposedly superior NFL. The two leagues merged soon after. The 23-7 victory by the Chiefs on Jan. 11, 1970, stands as the only time they have hoisted the Super Bowl trophy. The humbling loss by the Vikings became the first of four Super Bowl losses for a franchise still seeking its first such win.

UNDATED (AP) _ The NCAA has voted to permit college athletes to “benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness,” but it now must figure out how to allow athletes to profit after fighting such a proposal for years. The NCAA Board of Governors has directed each of the governing body’s three divisions to create the necessary new rules immediately and have them in place no later than January 2021. The about-face comes a month after California passed a law that would make it illegal for NCAA schools to prohibit college athletes from making money on endorsements, autograph signings and social media advertising, among other activities.
CINCINNATI (AP) _ Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor has decided to bench Andy Dalton, ending his nine-season run as a starter. The move came two days after a 24-10 loss to the Rams in London left Cincinnati 0-8 for the first time in 11 years. The first-year coach decided to use the bye week to get rookie Ryan Finley ready to face the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 10 at Paul Brown Stadium.
WASHINGTON (AP) _ A person with knowledge of the situation says Washington Redskins starting left tackle Trent Williams has ended his holdout and rejoined the team. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection had not reported all season because of a dispute with the team over the handling of a medical situation. The Redskins did not deal the 31-year-old before the NFL trade deadline, which prompted Williams’ return.
