(AP) The Kansas City Chiefs had lost Patrick Mahomes to a concussion and were in danger of losing the game. Then their defense and Chad Henne — their defense and Chad Henne?! — along with a gutsy call by Andy Reid kept their hopes of a Super Bowl repeat alive, holding off the Cleveland Browns 22-17 on Sunday to advance to their third straight AFC championship game.

By John Kurtz K-State’s 2021 season opener on September 4th against Stanford will no longer be in Manhattan. Instead, the Wildcats and the Cardinal will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in the Allstate Kickoff Classic. K-State will get a guaranteed payday of $2.8 million to move the game. Athletic director Gene Taylor expects to net around $2.2 million when all is said and done – a substantial increase from an estimated $500,000 for a typical home game. Stanford will get only enough money for travel costs as stipulated in the original home-and-home contract. “We…
