NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that both the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs have returned all negative results, allowing their game rescheduled for Monday night to be played. Also, the AP is told the Tennessee Titans have their first day clear of positive results in a week. The NFL postponed the Patriots’ game at Kansas City from Sunday after New England  quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the COVID-19 reserve list Saturday. Washington canceled a multiplayer workout Monday due to virus concerns.

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

UNDATED (AP) — Oklahoma dropped out of The Associated Press college football poll for the first time since September 2016 and Iowa State jumped back into the Top 25 after a day of upsets. There largely was stability at the top of the rankings after No. 1 Clemson, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Florida all won big, though the Bulldogs and Gators switched spots. Clemson received 52 first-place votes and Alabama got eight from the panel of sports writers and broadcasters. But overall, five teams dropped out of the rankings after eight ranked teams lost Saturday, six to unranked opponents. The Sooners were involved in one of those upsets, losing at Iowa State. Oklahoma’s first two-game losing streak in 21 years snapped its string of 64 straight poll appearances. UCF also fell out.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says another Tennessee Titans player, fullback Khari Blasingame, and another staff member have tested positive for the coronavirus, while the rest of the NFL returned no new positives. The Titans’ outbreak is now up to 20 cases, with 18 positives since Tuesday. New England Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Kansas City Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list Saturday, forcing the league to postpone the Patriots’ game at Kansas City until Monday night. The negative test results include Saints fullback Michael Burton, who falsely tested positive on Saturday.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jimmy Butler recorded a triple-double of 40 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds while playing 45 minutes of the Miami Heat’s 115-104 triumph over the Los Angeles Lakers. Butler was 14 for 20 from the field in the third 40-point triple-double in finals history. He allowed Miami to pull within two games to one in the series.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Russell Wilson was 24 of 34 for 360 yards and two touchdowns as the Seattle Seahawks held off the Dolphins, 31-23 in Miami. After setting an NFL record for TD passes through the first three games of a season, Wilson now has 16 scoring throws to tie Peyton Manning’s four-game mark. Leading 17-15, Wilson tossed a 17-yard touchdown pass to David Moore to stretch the Seahawks’ lead to 24-15 with 5:24 left.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady passed for 369 yards and hit five different receivers for TD as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied for their third straight win, 38-31 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mike Evans, Scotty Miller, O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate and rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn caught scoring passes from Brady, who threw four of his five TDs after falling behind 24-7 in the second quarter. Rookie Justin Herbert completed 20 of 25 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns in the Chargers’ third loss in a row.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Baker Mayfield threw for two touchdowns and the Cleveland Browns held on for a 49-38 victory over the Cowboys to improve to 3-1 for the first time since 2001. Jarvis Landry had his first career touchdown pass in the receiver’s 100th career game, a 37-yard toss to Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham finished with his first three-score game in nearly five years, capped by a 50-yard run on a reverse after the Cowboys had cut a 41-14 deficit to three points with less than four minutes remaining.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another in leading the 4-0 Buffalo Bills to a 30-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen was brilliant in the first half, finishing 15 of 20 with two touchdowns before sustaining a shoulder injury late in the second quarter. Derek Carr had a strong performance for the Raiders, going 32 for 44 for 311 yards and two touchdowns.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Doug Kalitta won the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Midwest Nationals on Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway to move within two points of Top Fuel leader Steve Torrence. Kalitta won for the fourth time at the St. Louis-area track, beating Torrence in the final round with a 3.690-second run at 322.58 mph. Kalita has two wins this year and 49 overall. Tommy Johnson won in Funny Car for Don Schumacher Racing’s 11th straight class victory. He edged Matt Hagan with a 3.884 at 326.88 in a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat for his second win of the year and 21st overall. The Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle racers were unable to finish Sunday because of cold temperatures and wind direction.

Patriots-Chiefs moved to Monday night

Sports

October 4th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

UNDATED (AP) — The NFL will have a rare Monday night double-header after moving this weekend’s marquee match-up back a day over coronavirus concerns. New England and Kansas City were scheduled to square off today (Sunday). But the game was postponed after Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were added to the COVID-19 reserve list this weekend.

Further testing showed none of their teammates were infected with the virus, so the game has been rescheduled for tomorrow at 6:05 p.m. CDT on CBS. The original Monday night game pitting Atlanta and Green Bay is being bumped back 45 minutes and will now kick off at 7:50 p.m. on ESPN.

UNDATED (AP) — The NFL postponed this week’s game between New England and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs after “positive COVID-19 tests on both teams.” Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list released on Saturday afternoon. The NFL says the game originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon will be played Monday or Tuesday.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Shane Illingworth threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns, Chuba Hubbard ran for 145 yards and two more scores, and No. 17 Oklahoma State was able to rest its starters the final 20 minutes of its 47-7 blowout of Kansas on Saturday. Tylan Wallace had nine catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, and Braylon Johnson had four catches for 74 yards and the other passing TD, as the Cowboys (3-0, 2-0 Big 12) built a 31-0 lead by halftime and never looked back. Kansas (0-3, 0-2) finished with just 193 yards of total offense.

UNDATED (AP) — Pete Rose and others around the baseball world are remembering Bob Gibson, the great St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who died Friday at age 84. Gibson posted more than 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, and was always at his best in October, when he was dominant in the World Series. Gibson was known for his fierce and fearsome presence on the mound, and had a reputation for knocking down hitters and plunking them with pitches. After his career, Gibson contended that “I didn’t do half the things they said I did.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Eric Gray and Ty Chandler combined to rush for 195 yards and scored touchdowns to lead No. 21 Tennessee to a 35-12 victory over Missouri. The victory was the Vols (2-0) eighth in a row, tying them with Notre Dame for the most among Power 5 teams. Connor Bazelak relieved Shawn Robinson at quarterback in the second quarter or Missouri (0-2), but the Tigers could still only muster one touchdown. Jarrett Guarantano played a mistake-free game for Tennessee, completing 14 of 23 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. He also converted on three fourth-down runs in the first quarter and had two short rushing touchdown.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Deuce Vaughn had a rushing touchdown and another receiving, Will Howard threw for 173 yards and a score and Kansas State held off Texas Tech for a 31-21 win. Up 24-21 with two minutes left, Howard found Vaughn across the middle on third down for a 70-yard touchdown pass to seal the win. Henry Colombi threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Xavier White added 113 yards rushing and a score on 12 carries for Texas Tech, which lost its ninth game in 10 tries against the Wildcats. Both starting quarterbacks spent more time in the locker room than the field after suffering injuries in the first half.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Tony Schumacher powered to his first No. 1 qualifier since 2018, breaking the track speed Saturday in the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway. Schumacher, the eight-time Top Fuel season champion, returned to racing in July after not competing last year, had a 3.680-second run at 332.92 mph in the rain-delayed session for his 88th career No. 1 qualifier. The 50-year-old star has a record 84 Top Fuel event victories. Paul Lee topped Funny Car for his first No. 1, running a 3.913 at 326.95 in his Toyota Camry. Only one run of qualifying was completed in Top Fuel and Funny Car because of the rain. Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle were unable to make qualifying attempts.

HOUSTON (AP) — Alan Pulido had his first multi-goal game in MLS, Gianluca Busio had two assists, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Houston Dynamo 2-0. Pulido opened the scoring in the 34th minute and his sliding first-timer in the 73rd made it 2-0. Sporting (7-5-2) snapped a two-game skid. Sam Junqua, a 23-year-old defender, scored his first MLS goal for the Dynamo in the 84th minute. Houston (3-5-7) is winless, with three losses, in its last six games.
