KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a 4-0 start. Yes, the same Chiefs that went just 2-14 last season.

The Chiefs pounded the New York Giants 31-7 on Sunday to keep their perfect record intact, though they didn’t come out of it unscathed. Right tackle Eric Fisher is being monitored after a suspected concussion and running back Jamaal Charles has badly blistered feet.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday he’ll leave Fisher’s status up to the team’s medical staff, but he believes that Charles will be OK for next Sunday’s game at Tennessee.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — This time last year, the St. Louis Cardinals had no chance to exhale and things worked out pretty well. Still, they did not want to go through that tension again.

Instead of hustling off somewhere for an elimination game, the NL Central champion Cardinals earned a day off Monday. There’s time to savor a six-game winning streak that gave them a league-leading 97 wins and home-field advantage for the first two rounds of the postseason.

Ace Adam Wainwright starts the division series opener Thursday and the 19-game winner is on track to make two starts if needed. After working out Tuesday, they’ll watch the Pirates and Reds play their aces in the wild card game.

IRVING, Texas- Iowa State running back Aaron Wimberly was named the Big 12’s Co-Offensive Football Player of the Week, announced today by the Big 12 office.

A junior from Snellville, Ga., Wimberly was instrumental in Iowa State’s 38-21 victory over Tulsa Thursday night. Wimberly set career highs in carries (19) and rushing yards (137) in the win, averaging 7.2 yards per carry.

Wimberly’s first-quarter 35-yard dash, the longest rush of the season for the Cyclones, set up ISU’s first score. He also had one catch for 31 yards and returned his only kickoff in the game for 32 yards to give him 200 all-purpose yards.

Wimberly is the first Cyclone running back to rush for over 100 yards in a game since the season-opener vs. Tulsa in 2012 and the first Cyclone to amass 200 all-purpose yards since 2010. He has yet to have a tackle for loss in 29 carries this season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City punter Dustin Colquitt was injured when the New York Giants’ Damontre Moore crashed into him while tipping a punt in the first period Sunday. The Chiefs said Colquitt might not punt again during the game, but that Colquitt would probably hold on placekicks. He did so after Kansas City scored a touchdown in the second quarter.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cornerback Brandon Flowers, Kansas City’s leader in the secondary, was out of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Slowed all week by a knee injury but hoping to be ready, Flowers was declared inactive Sunday. The Giants’ ravaged line was without center David Baas and guard Chris Snee. Stepping in for Bass and making his first start at center was Jim Cordle. Also out for the Chiefs were starting left guard Jeff Allen and starting tight end Anthony Fasano. In addition, backup tight end Travis Kelce was inactive.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals clinched home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs when they beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0 Sunday for their sixth straight win. With the top seed, the NL Central champions will host the wild-card winner in Game 1 of a NL division series on Thursday.

Joe Kelly (10-5) pitched 5 1-3 innings of three-hit ball in relief of Jake Westbrook as the Cardinals matched a season high winning streak to finish 97-65, their most since reaching 100 in 2005. St. Louis also won six straight from April 30-May 5. Jon Jay, Daniel Descalso, Shane Robinson and Tony Cruz drove in runs for St. Louis.

The Cubs finish last in the Central at 66-96.
