Monday Sports Headlines

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Harrison Butker matched a career long with a 54-yard field goal to tie the game in the fourth quarter, then drilled a 44-yarder as time expired to give the Chiefs a heart-stopping 26-23 victory over the Vikings on Sunday. The first person to greet Butker in celebration was Patrick Mahomes, who missed his second straight game with a knee injury. Matt Moore started in his place and threw for 275 yards and a score.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — After knocking off then-No. 5 Oklahoma in a game far more lopsided than the 48-41 final score, Kansas State romped to a 38-10 victory over rival Kansas on Saturday. And that score also was not indicative of the way the Wildcats manhandled their neighbors just down Interstate 70. It served notice to the Big 12, and perhaps the nation, that new coach Chris Klieman’s team is on the rise.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have declined their half of Alex Gordon’s $23 million mutual option for 2020, allowing the outfielder to become a free agent. Gordon had exercised his part of the option. He will receive a $4 million buyout, completing a $72 million, four-year contract. A three-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner, Gordon helped the Royals win the 2015 World Series for their first title since 1985. He batted .266 this year with 13 homers and 76 RBIs for the rebuilding Royals.

UNDATED (AP) — Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard turned in his fourth 200-yard rushing performance of the season, and it came against an unlikely opponent. Hubbard carried 20 times for 223 yards and became the first player to go for 200 against TCU since Gary Patterson took over as head coach in 2000. His 178.2 yards per game put him on pace to run for 2,317 in 13 games, assuming the Cowboys don’t play in the Big 12 championship game. That would be the highest total by a player since 2014.

National Headlines

BALTIMORE (AP) _ Lamar Jackson ran for 61 yards and two touchdowns and was 17 of 23 passing for 163 yards and a score as the Baltimore Ravens handed New England its first loss of the season, 37-20. Baltimore built a 17-0 lead, but the Pats drew within 23-20 before Jackson threw a five-yard TD pass to Nick Boyle just six seconds into the fourth quarter and scored on a one-yard keeper to ice the victory. The NFL’s leading rushing attack amassed 210 yards on the ground, led by 115 yards from Mark Ingram.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) _ Melvin Gordon scored two touchdowns, Michael Badgley kicked four field goals and the Los Angeles Chargers ended the Green Bay Packers’ four-game winning streak, 26-11. Gordon finished with 80 yards and Austin Ekeler added 70 as the Chargers rushed for a season-high 159 yards and averaged 4.2 yards per carry under new offensive coordinator Shane Steichen. Aaron Rodgers was 23 of 35 for just 161 yards and a late TD for the 7-2 Packers.

SEATTLE (AP) _ Russell Wilson’s fifth touchdown pass of the afternoon sealed the Seattle Seahawks’ 40-34 triumph against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime. Wilson hit Jacob Hollister on a 10-yard touchdown on the opening possession of OT to tie his career high for TD throws in a game and finish 29 of 43 for 378 yards. Jameis Winston engineered a scoring drive in the final minute of regulation and passed for 335 yards and two touchdowns before Tampa Bay dropped to 2-6. Seattle is 7-2.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) _ The Buffalo Bills are off to their best start since 1993 at 6-2 following a 24-9 win over the Washington Redskins. Rookie Devin Singletary had 95 yards rushing and a 2-yard touchdown to help Buffalo spoil Dwayne Haskins’ first NFL start. Josh Allen threw for a touchdown, ran for another and was 14 of 20 for 160 yards through the air as the Bills dropped the Redskins to 1-8.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State has fired Willie Taggart, one day after the Seminoles lost to Miami and fell closer to missing a bowl game for the second consecutive season. Taggart was 9-12 in parts of two seasons at Florida State. The school says Odell Haggins has been asked to take over as interim coach.

UNDATED (AP) — Navy has moved into The Associated Press college football poll at No. 25 to give the American Athletic Conference four ranked teams. That’s more than all but the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference. With nine ranked teams off this weekend, there was little movement throughout the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. Georgia jumped two spots to No. 6 after beating Florida in the biggest game. LSU is No. 1 for a second consecutive week and Alabama is No. 2.
