KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)– Alex Smith looked down at his phone in the middle of the Chiefs locker room, moments after leading his team to its franchise-record 10th straight victory. “Just checking messages,” he said with a grin. But with their 23-17 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, the Chiefs managed to keep their unprecedented roll going into their playoff opener in Houston next weekend. “This week it would have been easy, clinch last week on that emotional high, to have a lull,” said Smith, who threw two TD passes against the Raiders. “We still came out and played…

Kansas State junior fullback Glenn Gronkowski will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft, his father told Sports Illustrated’s Pete Thamel Saturday night. Gronkowski has appeared in most of K-State’s games the last three seasons, but spent much of the 2015 campaign splitting snaps with Winston Dimel. In his career, he scored seven touchdowns for the Wildcats, with five of those coming via the pass. K-State leads the Big 12 with having at least one player taken in 22 straight drafts. Before the season, college football expert Phil Steele listed Gronkowski as the best NFL prospect among fullbacks.

Unlike many of K-State’s recent bowl games, a slow start was not the…
For as hard and intensely as Kansas State worked, a loss doesn’t seem like a fair result. Thus is life in the Big 12 Conference basketball season. K-State went step-for-step with No. 19 West Virginia in Saturday’s league opener before falling in double-overtime, 87-83, at Bramlage Coliseum. “We had chances,” K-State coach Bruce Weber said. “We gave ourselves chances. We just didn’t take advantage of enough of them to win. We didn’t make enough plays.” K-State knew what kind of game WVU would bring to the table. The Wildcats were ready to embrace it, building a nine-point lead in the…
