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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a dislocated clavicle in their win over Jacksonville. But star quarterback Patrick Mahomes escaped serious injury when a player rolled onto his ankle, resulting in a sprain that briefly sidelined him. Now, the Chiefs have to adjust a few things as they prepare to visit Oakland.

UNDATED (AP) — Josh Sargent’s red hair could become as known in St. Louis one day as the Gateway Arch if he develops into an American soccer star. Sargent left St. Dominic High School in O’Fallon, Missouri, in the middle of 10th grade and scored four goals at the 2017 Under-20 World Cup. He agreed to sign with Werder Bremen when he turned 18 the following February, then scored in his senior international and Bundesliga debuts.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has lost after leading in the second half in five of 14 games under second-year coach Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers blew a 17-point halftime lead in losing 34-31 in overtime at Colorado on Saturday. It was Nebraska’s biggest blown lead since the Bo Pelini-coached team squandered a 21-3 advantage in the second quarter against UCLA in 2013. Nebraska hosts Northern Illinois this weekend. The Huskies won in Lincoln in 2017.

(Radio Iowa) — There will be an amped-up pre-game atmosphere for this year’s Iowa-Iowa State football game. For the first time, E-S-P-N’s College Football GameDay will broadcast from Ames on Saturday. Jack Whitver of Ankeny, a prominent state senator, was a starting wide receiver for the Cyclones.  “GameDay, for the last 25 years, has been the traveling TV show that goes to the biggest game every week,” Whitver says. “To get GameDay to come to your stadium is a big deal…It really just kind of solidifies Iowa State as an up-and-coming football program and just kind of puts them on the map.”

Each week, College GameDay features a celebrity from the host school who makes predictions about the game. Whitver suggests a former I-S-U quarterback he played with 15 years ago is an option. “Seneca Wallace would probably be a top choice or Dan McCarney,” Whitver says. “He played at Iowa, coached at Iowa State, so he has ties to both schools. He really helped build the (ISU) program.” Fans will camp out in Ames to be part of the show’s atmosphere when it goes live on E-S-P-N at 8 a.m. Saturday. Whitver says it’s an opportunity to not only showcase Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell and his football program, but the entire state of Iowa. “You have our marque game, with both teams there,” Whitver says. “It’s going to be a really exciting day for the state.”

Some former I-S-U athletes playing in the N-F-L and the N-B-A have been tweeting about coming back for the big game — and the morning broadcast. “A lot of them will come back anyway because it’s the Iowa-Iowa State game,” Whitver says, “but having GameDay there just gives them another reason to come back.” The game kicks off in Ames at 3 p.m. Saturday. You can listen ti it on KJAN.

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

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns while leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a testy and tactful 40-26 victory over the injury-riddled Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs lost star receiver Tyreek Hill to a shoulder injury. The Jaguars lost quarterback Nick Foles for an extended period because of a broken left clavicle.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill was transported to a hospital after sustaining a shoulder injury during a 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team’s head athletic trainer detailed the precautions emergency personnel took with the Pro Bowl receiver. Rick Burkholder says Hill had a “sternoclavicular joint injury,” which is where the collarbone meets the sternum and can become a serious medical issue.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jack Flaherty had another strong start in his scintillating second half, scattering five hits over eight electric innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 23-year-old Flaherty struck out 10 and walked just one to win for the sixth time in his last eight starts to drop his post All-Star break ERA to 0.76. Carlos Martinez worked a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save. St. Louis has won 8 of 11 overall.

MIAMI (AP) — Sandy Alcantara became the first Marlins pitcher with two shutouts in his rookie season since Dontrelle Willis, and Miami beat the Kansas City Royals 9-0. Alcantara threw a four-hitter with two walks and eight strikeouts for his first victory since the All-Star break. Willis had two shutouts while winning Rookie of the Year in 2003. Starlin Castro hit his 18th home run and drove in two for the Marlins.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Despite losing star receiver Tyreek Hill early, Patrick Mahomes threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns while leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a testy and tactful 40-26 victory over the injury-riddled Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Mahomes took a beating and even had to leave the game to get his left ankle taped in the second quarter. He nonetheless looked every bit as good as he did during last year’s MVP campaign, leading the Chiefs to scores on each of their first seven possessions.

Sammy Watkins caught nine passes for a career-high 198 yards and three TDs. Watkins slipped through the middle of Jacksonville’s defense for a 68-yard score on the third play of the season and added a 49-yard TD reception late in the opening quarter. He made defenders Ronnie Harrison, Jalen Ramsey and Miles Jack look silly while strolling into the end zone twice. He beat Ramsey again for a short TD in the fourth period.

Jacksonville had major issues on both sides of the ball, fairly reminiscent of last year’s 16-point loss at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 5. This one may have been more of a debacle — and maybe more costly.
Mahomes picked apart what some believed is an elite defense, throwing for 313 yards in the first half and doing most of it without Hill. The three-time Pro Bowler departed after landing on his left shoulder near the sideline.

But considerably more concerning for the Jaguars, they lost quarterback Nick Foles to a left shoulder injury in the opening quarter, and rookie linebacker Quincy Williams (knee) in the second half. Chris Jones hit Foles as he released a 35-yard TD pass to DJ Chark. Jones landed on top of Foles, but did not draw a flag.
Foles looked to be in pain as he walked to the sideline to be evaluated. He then jogged into the locker room for further tests and did not return.
The Jaguars gave Foles a four-year, $88 million contract in April with the belief he would solve the franchise’s two-decade-old search for a quarterback. He didn’t make it through a quarter, and now Jacksonville might have rookie Gardner Minshew under center for a stretch. Minshew was the team’s lone bright spot: He completed 22 of 25 passes for 275 yards, with two TDs and an interception.

The Jaguars already were without starting left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and backup Cedric Ogbuehi (hamstring), leaving guard Will Richardson to make his first career start at a new position.
JACK EJECTED
Jaguars linebacker Jack was ejected in the second quarter after taking a swing at Chiefs receiver Demarcus Robinson. Jack had to be restrained by team officials and essentially pulled off the field.
Jack and receiver Sammy Watkins got into a shoving match after a fumble, and then Robinson came in and shoved Jack in the back. Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and others joined in, prompting officials to throw five flags and a hat onto the ground. Jack eventually got the boot after a lengthy discussion.
RARE FUMBLE
Jacksonville’s Leonard Fournette gained 66 yards on 13 carries and fumbled for the first time in his three NFL seasons. Damien Wilson stripped the ball out of Fournette’s hands after a catch in the flat.
It was Fournette’s first lost fumble since Nov. 12, 2016, during his junior year at LSU. That came at Arkansas.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: play at rival Oakland. Kansas City has won eight of the last nine in the series.
Jaguars: play at Houston. The Texans swept Jacksonville last season.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lawrence Woods’ 87-yard kickoff return to start the second half helped propel Division II-level Truman State past Drake 10-7 on Saturday.

Despite their Division II status, the Bulldogs have a history of playing Drake (0-2) tough in the six times the programs have met. The last time the teams played was in 2014 at Drake Stadium. Drake needed overtime to win it after Conley Wilkins dove into the end zone to make it 13-7 on the first possession of the extra session. It was the first game between the two teams since 2002, and it snapped Truman State’s two-game winning streak.

On Saturday, Woods’ return gave Truman State a 10-0 lead. Later, Ian Corwin completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Drew Lauer to trim the deficit after a six-play, 68-yard drive in a little more than 2½ minutes.

Truman State proceeded to hold Drake to just 76 yards of offense over its next four drives to end the game.
Corwin threw for 205 yards and was sacked five times.
