Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Aaron Jones on a big night for the Green Bay running back, and the Packers held off backup quarterback Matt Moore and the Kansas City Chiefs 31-24. Jones finished with seven catches for 159 yards while adding 67 on the ground. Matt Moore threw for 267 yards and two scores in place of injured quarterback Patrick Mahomes for Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Matt Moore did everything the Kansas City Chiefs asked of him but win the game Sunday night. He threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns without an interception against Green Bay, keeping his team in it until the final minutes. The Packers escaped with a 31-24 victory. But the performance by the journeyman quarterback should make the Chiefs feel better about next week if NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes has to miss another game.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — After a resounding victory over then-No. 5 Oklahoma, which pushed Kansas State back into the Top 25, good luck finding any critics of new coach Chris Klieman. His work ethic, blue-collar charm and winning pedigree have won over those skeptical of him when he was hired to replace Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder late last year.
