AP Top 25 College Football Poll

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Teammates approached Patrick Mahomes after his second interception in the first half and maybe the worst of his NFL career. They told him to keep being himself.

Mahomes found himself in the second half, engineering three touchdown drives to make up for the giveaways, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 31-13 comeback victory at Washington on Sunday that got them back to .500.

“In the second half, I kept doing stuff,” said Mahomes, who threw for 397 yards and two touchdowns. “I kept throwing across my body and doing a lot of different type of stuff because I know those guys believe in me, and I’m going to keep being that and keep fighting to the end.”

Leaving his seventh and eighth picks of the season behind, Mahomes connected with Tyreek Hill on a 2-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. He put the game out of reach with a 24-yarder to Demarcus Robinson with 3:14 left in the fourth period.

In between, new starting running back Darrel Williams rushed for his second TD of the game to help Kansas City (3-3) avoid what would have been an embarrassing loss.

“We just executed better,” Mahomes said. “Guys relied on each other, believed in each other, and we were able to find a way to get a win.”

The defense also finally played its part, holding an opponent under 29 points for the first time this season, forcing a fumble and picking off Taylor Heinicke to seal the win. Washington (2-4) finished with 276 yards and its lowest points total of the season.

“We didn’t handle adversity in the second half the way we needed to,” Washington coach Ron Rivera said. “When you have a chance, you’ve got to take advantage of it. And we didn’t.”

The Chiefs flirted with disaster for much of the first half, turning the ball over three times: a ball that bounced off Hill’s hands, a fumble by receiver Mecole Hardman, and an inexplicable heave by Mahomes. They trailed 13-10 at halftime before things clicked offensively.

Kansas City now has committed an NFL-worst 14 turnovers this season, a worrying trend for the defending AFC champion.

“We got to get out of this cycle,” coach Andy Reid said. “I’m not sure I’ve been around quite this many, but we’re here, so it needs to change. But we were heading the right direction that second half.”

Unlike losses to the Ravens, Chargers and Bills, the offense made up for the giveaways. Mahomes was 32 of 47 through the air, rushed for 31 yards and led touchdown drives of 95, 68, 45 and 96 yards.

“The way we did it, even though it wasn’t pretty in the first half, hopefully it will get us rolling,” said Mahomes said. “How this season’s gone and the adversity we’ve dealt with, it could have spiraled. “But I thought the guys, it was a lot of mental toughness to go back and to battle.”

Rivera was caught on a hot microphone complaining to officials in the waning minutes of the game. Rivera could be heard making a mention of the offensive line and using an expletive to say he didn’t care.

Washington’s defense that forced three turnovers in the first half gifted Kansas City points because of bad penalties later on.

Pass rusher Montez Sweat was flagged offside with the Chiefs in the red zone to negate a third-down stop on the drive that ended with the Mahomes to Hill TD. Linebacker Khaleke Hudson took a holding penalty in the end zone to set up Williams’ second score.

“It’s one I feel like slipped through our fingers a little bit,” reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Chase Young said. “First half we were solid, getting to the quarterback, forcing turnovers. We got to look at it.”

Washington retired late safety Sean Taylor’s No. 21 at halftime after the team was criticized by alumni and fans for not announcing the tribute until Thursday. Members of Taylor’s family took part in a pregame ceremony naming a road leading to the stadium after him and surrounded a framed burgundy jersey on the field when his number was retired.

Team president Jason Wright issued a public apology for bungling the situation and not providing enough notice to those interested in attending the tribute to Taylor, a beloved figure in franchise history who was murdered in 2007 at his Florida home during a botched burglary attempt.

Fans, many in Taylor jerseys holding “21” towels, chanted his name as the festivities were coming to an end.

Chiefs: TE Jody Fortson was carted off in the third quarter with a torn left Achilles tendon. ... LB Anthony Hitchens injured his right elbow on a hit in the second period that was flagged for unnecessary roughness. He’s set to have an MRI Monday. ... LG Joe Thuney played a second consecutive game with a broken right hand.

Washington: RB Antonio Gibson left after aggravating a shin injury that he has been playing with, but returned after a brief absence. ... WR Curtis Samuel (groin), WR Cam Sims (hamstring), RG Brandon Scherff (knee) and RT Sam Cosmi (ankle) were inactive.

Chiefs: visit the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.

(AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 397 yards and engineered three second-half touchdown drives to compensate for a pair of interceptions, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 31-13 comeback victory at Washington that got them back to .500. After throwing two picks before halftime, Mahomes connected with Tyreek Hill on a 2-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter and put the game out of reach with a 24-yarder to Demarcus Robinson with 3:14 left in the fourth. In between, new starting running back Darrel Williams rushed for his second TD of the game to help Kansas City (3-3) avoid what would have been an embarrassing loss.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The Chiefs have held the Washington Football Team to 76 yards and four first downs in the second half of Kansas City's 31-13 victory. Safety Tyrann Mathieu got upset in the first half after the Chiefs allowed Washington to convert on a third-and-16 and then score on a 39-yard TD pass. That helped Washington lead 13-10 at halftime. But the Chiefs outscored Washington 21-0 the rest of the way to push their record to 3-3. The Chiefs came into Sunday with only four takeaways all season and they managed to produce two against Washington. This was the first game all season KC did not allow at least 29 points.

UNDATED (AP) — Cincinnati has moved up to No. 2 behind Georgia in The Associated Press college football poll for the best ranking for a team from outside the traditional power conferences since 2010. The Bulldogs remained a unanimous No. 1 with 63 first-place votes in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. The Bearcats inched up a spot, taking advantage of Iowa’s loss to Purdue. The Hawkeyes dropped nine places to No. 11. The Boilermakers moved into the rankings at No. 25, snapping the longest current AP poll drought for a Power Five school. Purdue was last ranked in 2007. No. 24 Texas-San Antonio is ranked for the first time in the history of the program. Oklahoma is No. 3, followed by Alabama and Ohio State. 

UNDATED (AP) — Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler and Miami’s D’Eriq King have been two of the most prominent football players to cash in as athlete endorsers since the NCAA allowed it July 1. King is now out for the season with an injury and Rattler has struggled badly enough to get benched. Those who work with athletes, schools and brands say everything about celebrity compensation for college athletes is still evolving. They say the change in status of a couple of high-profile quarterbacks is unlikely to cool off the market.

UNDATED (AP) — LSU and coach Ed Orgeron have agreed to part ways after this season. The move announced by athletic director Scott Woodward on Sunday night comes 21 months after Orgeron led the Tigers to a national championship with what is considered one of the greatest teams in college football history. The announcement surprisingly comes the day after the Tigers upset Florida. But the end for Coach O at LSU seemed to be approaching after a blowout loss last week to Kentucky. Orgeron is 49-17 with the Tigers, including 15-0 in 2019 when Joe Burrow won a Heisman Trophy and LSU its third national championship since 2003.

ATLANTA (AP) — Eddie Rosario singled home the winning run in the ninth inning to send the Atlanta Braves past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4. Rosario had four hits for the Braves, who trailed 2-0 and 4-2 before taking a two-games-to-none lead in the NL Championship Series. Joc Pederson belted a two-run homer and Austin Riley doubled home the tying run in the eighth, one night after supplying a walk-off single.

Monday Sports Headlines presented by Barton Community College

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Former Kansas football coach David Beaty is no longer part of an NCAA infractions case against the school, according to the independent agency investigating the case.

Marc Quigley of the Independent Accountability Review Process’ Complex Case Unit notified Beaty last week that investigators had decided to withdraw the allegation against Beaty and he was “no longer identified” as being involved in the case against Kansas, The Kansas City Star reported.

Beaty hasn’t worked in football since he was fired by Kansas in 2018 and the subsequent NCAA investigation. During a news conference on Thursday, he said he plans to get back on the sidelines now that the allegations are behind him.

“Today’s a great day because when you get your name back — and you only get one of those — getting your good name back ... I’m very fortunate, because a lot of times it doesn’t happen,” Beaty said.

Former Kansas athletic director Jeff Long fired Beaty in November 2018 after he posted a 6-42 record in nearly four seasons.

Beaty was cited in the NCAA’s notice of allegations sent to Kansas in September 2019 as the school self-reported violations involving claims that former video coordinator Jeff Love instructed players during Beaty’s tenure. That would violate the NCAA’s prohibition against non-coaching staff members instructing players.

Beaty’s attorney, Mike Lyons, said Thursday’s announcement was “vindication” for Beaty, who he said had been held back by a “phony investigation” Kansas conducted to get out of paying Beaty a $3 million buyout after he was fired.

Beaty sued the school in March 2019 after it withheld the buyout, in part because of the investigation and the claim that Beaty committed a Level II NCAA violation. In June 2020, the two sides agreed to a $2.55 million settlement.

Beaty was replaced by Les Miles, who left after two seasons in a mutual agreement with Kansas amid sexual misconduct allegations while he was coach at LSU. Long resigned as athletic director shortly after Miles’ departure.

Barton Men lose at Dodge, Women pick up victory

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Breece Hall rushed for 197 yards and two touchdowns and Brock Purdy was an efficient 22-of-25 for 208 yards and a score as Iowa State downed Kansas State 33-20 Saturday night.

The Cyclones gained 210 yards on the ground and 208 yards through the air.

“It always starts with (balance) for us,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said, “the ability to create a running game somehow, someway, and the ability to use our passing game to open up the running game.

“So much credit goes to our quarterback tonight. The way he played with poise, I really thought he did a phenomenal job of distributing the football.”

The Wildcats had won 15 of the last 16 games in Manhattan. The teams split the last four meetings in the series, with each team winning two home games. Prior to that, K-State had won 10 straight games in the series.

K-State quarterback Skylar Thompson was 15-of-23 for 206 yards and two touchdowns and one interception.

Hall has now rushed for a touchdown in 18 straight games, a Big 12 record and the fifth longest streak in FBS since 1996.

Hall rushed 75 yards for a touchdown on the opening play of the game, finding a hole on the right side of the offensive line and racing untouched until the 10-yard line, where he eluded a defender diving for his feet.

“It was blocked perfectly,” Hall said. “I didn’t really have to do much but find a hole and run. I knew it was going to be a big run, because the crowd was real loud but it got quiet suddenly. I knew I would score the touchdown.”

The touchdown came after Iowa State won the coin flip and chose to receive.

“We were just trying to gain some momentum,” Campbell said. “This is such a great place to play college football. I thought maybe the one thing that could swing it for us was to put together a positive drive on the first drive. Obviously, a great play by Breece.”

After Greg Eisworth intercepted Thompson, Andrew Mevis hit a 44-yard field goal to give Iowa State a 10-0 lead.

After K-State converted a second-and-23 for a first down, Thompson found Phillip Brooks for a 40-yard touchdown pass to get the Cats on the board.

Kansas State missed a chance to tie the score on a 33-yard field goal when Taiten Winkel missed wide right. Iowa State responded with a 14-play, 80-yard drive capped by Hall’s 1-yard run. Mevis hit a 41-yard field goal as time expired to take a 20-7 lead to the half.

Iowa State started the second half with an 18-play, 93-yard drive that took more than 10 minutes off the clock. Purdy hit Sean Shaw in the front corner of the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown to close the drive.

“Kansas State brought the heat, but the O-line did a great job,” Purdy said. “I think we were really prepared for (K-State’s game plan), and the guys up front went to work.

“At the end (of that drive), I thought, ‘That’s pretty good for us, just doing our job.’ It just came down to converting on third down.”

Thompson punched it in from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter to cut it to 27-13 and Mevis connected on another 41-yard field goal to extend the lead to 30-13.

K-State followed with an 11-play, 75-yard drive capped by Thompson’s nine-yard scoring pass to Malik Knowles. Mevis then hit his fourth field goal, this one from 40 yards.

Iowa State: The Cyclones’ offensive line gave Purdy plenty of time all day. He was not sacked and threw only three incompletions. With time to pick the best choice, the Cyclones were able to convert 9-of-15 third downs and control the ball for 33:45.

Kansas State: The Wildcats have to improve their tackling. They allowed Iowa State’s top four receivers 104 yards after the catch, half of Iowa State’s passing yards gained.

Iowa State hosts undefeated Oklahoma State in Big 12 action on Saturday. Kansas State travels to Lubbock, Texas to take on Texas Tech on Saturday.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Caleb Williams had a big starting debut for No. 4 Oklahoma, throwing for 295 yards and four touchdowns and running for another score in the Sooners’ 52-31 victory over TCU on Saturday night. The freshman unseated Spencer Rattler as the starter after leading a comeback victory over Texas last week in Dallas. He started fast against TCU with an opening 75-yard touchdown drive that took just under three minutes. Williams was 18 of 23 and ran for 66 yards on nine carries. He had a 41-yard scoring run, juking a defender at the line of scrimmage and taking off. Oklahoma had three consecutive touchdown drives to open the third quarter, including two touchdown connections between Williams and Jadon Haselwood. 

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tanner Brown’s fourth field goal of the game gave No. 12 Oklahoma State its first lead and Spencer Sanders’ scrambling 10-yard touchdown run sealed a 32-24 victory over No. 25 Texas on Saturday to keep the Cowboys undefeated.
