TOPEKA, Kan. — Conservative Kansas legislators are trying to tamp down fears about the cost and other potential problems with a proposal to provide unemployment benefits to workers who lose their jobs for refusing COVID-19 vaccines.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs had played so horrendously on defense earlier this season that the Dallas Cowboys and their top-ranked offense probably felt confident that they could keep things rolling Sunday night. Chris Jones and the rest of the Chiefs made an emphatic statement to the contrary.

One week prior, the Bears held No. 4 Oklahoma to 14 points, its lowest total in a game since 2014. The Wildcats…
