Panther bowlers dominate in home finale

GBHS KREIGH @ WELLS (WATCH) 

PHOENIX (AP) — Chris Jones claims to have very little memory of a relatively benign game in 2017, when the Kansas City Chiefs welcomed the Philadelphia Eagles to Arrowhead Stadium for the second game of the regular season.

The veteran Philadelphia center spent the afternoon lining up alongside Isaac Seumalo, who Jones proceeded to whip from start to finish. Then a relatively unknown second-year defensive tackle, Jones piled up three sacks that day.

“(Seumalo) played a guy early on that nobody knew about then that was, you know, the best defensive tackle in the NFL," Kelce recalled. "I mean, I sure remember going into that game and we didn't really talk much about Chris, to be honest with you. We didn't have much of a plan for him because we thought it wasn't going to be much of a big deal.

“And man," Kelce said, "Isaac had a hard outing.”

You can bet the Eagles will have a better plan for dealing with Jones in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

In five-plus years since that game in Kansas City, the affable pass rusher has grown to rival the Rams' Aaron Donald as just what Kelce said: the NFL's best defensive tackle. He's gone to the past four Pro Bowls, was voted second-team All-Pro three times and, this year, earned first-team honors along with being a finalist for AP Defensive Player of the Year.

He will learn whether he takes home that hardware at the NFL Honors on Thursday night.

“He's so good, man. He makes it so hard on you,” said Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who was sacked twice by Jones in the AFC title game. “He's so big and strong. Physical. He really understands what you're trying to do to him up front.”

In truth, nobody has quite figured out what to do with him.

Jones had 15 1/2 sacks this season, despite facing constant double teams, matching the 2018 season for the best of his career. He trailed only the 49ers' Nick Bosa, the Browns' Myles Garrett and the Eagles' Haason Reddick for the NFL lead.

Jones also was a big reason why the Chiefs, one of the league's worst at rushing the passer last season, suddenly became one of the best. They had 55 sacks in the regular season to trail only their Super Bowl opponent for the league lead.

“He opens up a lot of opportunities for a lot of those guys inside, especially when he's causing so much attention to come his way,” said Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark, who has 2 1/2 sacks in this postseason. “We speak on it and harp on it a lot with the interior guys, you know, like, ‘Is Chris getting double-teamed?’"

That's usually the best approach; Jones seems to end up near the quarterback anyway.

"He's a game-wrecking-type force up front," Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. “You have to be aware of where he lines up. He lines up at end, up the shade and the three (technique). He's an extremely disruptive player, so you do everything you can to minimize him, but he's going to have one at some point.”

The task for the Eagles — and what the Bengals failed to do — is limit Jones to just one big play.

“He's a fantastic player,” Callahan said, “and he's not fun to have to get ready for.”

He's fun to have in the locker room, though. Jones is among the most light-hearted Chiefs, constantly trying to get guys to smile. He once showed up at practice shortly before Christmas in an ugly sweater with a stitched picture of Jesus carrying the label “Birthday Boy." His own smile seems to stretch from one end of the room to the other.

On the field, though, that good-natured goof suddenly becomes a colossus.

All of that explains why the Chiefs lavished on the 28-year-old Jones an $80 million, four-year deal a couple of years ago, which included a $1.25 million bonus when Jones hit 10 sacks this season. His salary cap hit is tops among defensive tackles, edging Donald and DeForest Buckner, yet somehow seems like a bargain given his production. And with one year left on the contract after Sunday, there's a good chance the Chiefs will begin talking about an extension soon.

If they haven't started those discussions already.

In the meantime, Jones will try to capture a second Super Bowl ring when the Chiefs take on the Eagles on Sunday. He knows that much of their success will depend on whether he can pressure Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts, whose uncanny ability to shred defenses with his arm and legs make him difficult to defend.

“Every week is a challenge for me, especially when you’re playing in the Super Bowl. It's the best of the best,” Jones said Wednesday. “So we’re very fortunate. We’re excited about it. Jason Kelce and that amazing offensive line — we got to see what type of pressure we can bring against it.”

Chiefs' Jones sets sack standard for Kansas City defense

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals acquired left-hander Anthony Misiewicz from their cross-state rival Kansas City Royals for cash considerations on Wednesday.

To make room on the 40-man roster, St. Louis designated right-hander James Naile for assignment on the Missouri native's 30th birthday.

The 28-year-old Misiewicz, who was expected to compete for a spot in the Royals bullpen, split last season between the Mariners and Kansas City. He went 1-2 with a 4.34 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 29 innings.

Misiewicz was expendable when the Royals bolstered their bullpen with a series of recent moves, trading outfielder Michael A. Taylor to the Twins and injury-prone shortstop Adalberto Mondesi to the Red Sox to net a trio of pitching prospects. The Royals also signed reliever Aroldis Chapman to a $3.75 million deal for 2023 in the hopes the seven-time All-Star can bounce back from a disappointing season with the Yankees.

Misiewicz has appeared in 119 games since making his debut in 2020 for Seattle. He is 6-9 with a 4.43 ERA but has been especially effective against left-handed hitters, allowing a .250 average to them.

Lady Panther bowlers handle Garden City on the road

PHOENIX (AP) — The defensive philosophy that has carried the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl is relatively simple.

A deep rotation of defensive linemen provides constant pressure that makes opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable and often leads to them ending on the ground.

“It’s always a race to the quarterback,” defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said. “We all look at it every week that we have to earn the right to rush the quarterback and guys buy into that."

Few teams have gotten to the quarterback more frequently this season than the Eagles, who are closing in on the NFL’s most prolific season ever when it comes to sacks.

That will be the formula the Eagles (16-3) will hope to replicate on Sunday against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (16-3).

“Any time you play these great quarterbacks, you got to affect them because you can’t have them out here playing 7 on 7,” defensive end Brandon Graham said. “The line definitely has to affect anything that goes on with the play. I know that we’ve got a great D-line, but we got to prove it each and every week. I’m excited because we do got a task we got to achieve going against Mahomes.”

That won't be easy even with Mahomes on a gimpy ankle. He was the best quarterback in the league this season at avoiding sacks, with only 10.2% of pressures turning into sacks, according to Pro Football Focus.

Mahomes was sacked three times in his previous Super Bowl appearance two years ago against Tampa Bay when he was constantly on the run behind a banged-up line.

Kansas City has bolstered the line since then, but Mahomes knows it will be difficult against the Eagles.

“They’re on like a historic sack rate and the way they’re able to get to the quarterback,” Mahomes said. "So everybody knows that everything starts up front. It’ll be a great challenge for our offensive line to try to do what they can.”

Philadelphia followed up a regular season with 70 sacks — tied for the third-most ever — with eight more so far in the playoffs. The 78 sacks combined in the regular season and playoffs have been topped only by the Chicago’s Monsters of the Midway with 82 sacks in 1984 and 80 the next season.

While the Eagles benefitted from a 17th regular-season game, their rate of sacks is also quite impressive. They have sacked the quarterback on 11.5% of drop-backs this season for the highest rate in a season since 1989, when the Vikings did it on 12.2% of drop-backs.

“Being a part of a pass rush where everybody gets the chance to eat, that’s the best thing,” star defensive end Haason Reddick said. “It causes no problems. Everybody gets their chance. Everybody gets the chance to get their stats up. Everybody gets their chance to make an impact at the end of the day. When you have a D-line like we have, it’s crazy. All it takes is for one person to make a play and then the energy amongst everybody is just rolling.”

Philadelphia spreads the wealth around with a record four players reaching double digits in the regular season: Reddick (16), Javon Hargrave (11), Josh Sweat (11) and Graham (11).

But Reddick is the one who sets the tone. He had 1 1/2 sacks on the opening drive of a divisional round win against the Giants and then the strip-sack that injured San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy's elbow on the first drive in the NFC championship game.

It's been part of a fairytale season for Reddick that will end where he started his NFL career. A first-round pick by Arizona in 2017, Reddick struggled early in his career with just 7 1/2 sacks his first three seasons while often playing out of position as an off-ball linebacker.

Reddick has put together three straight double-digit sack seasons in his final year with the Cardinals, one year in Carolina and this season in Philadelphia, where he has relished the opportunity to be back near his boyhood home in New Jersey playing for the team he rooted for as a kid.

“For me, it is a dream,” Reddick said. “I’m getting to live it each and every day, which is a blessing in itself. But looking back at that, if you would have told me that this would happen back then and I looked at you and said, I hope so.”

Now Reddick is looking for one final accomplishment to add to this memorable season: sacking Mahomes in a Super Bowl win.

“He’s one of the quarterbacks in the league that I haven’t been able to sack or haven’t gotten to yet” he said. “So if I’m able to get to him and I get him in a Super Bowl, that’s going to be historic for me.”

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) —
Led by Taylor Hendricks' 23 points, the UCF Knights defeated the
Wichita State Shockers 72-67 on Wednesday night. The Knights improved
to 14-9 with the win and the Shockers fell to 12-12.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — Kedrian Johnson tied a career high with 22 points, and West
Virginia held off No. 11 Iowa State for a 76-71 win. Emmitt Mathews
added a season-high 20 points for the Mountaineers, who have won five
of seven to get their season moving in the right direction after they
dropped five in a row during one stretch. The Cyclones missed a
chance to move into a first-place tie with No. 5 Texas, which lost at
Kansas on Monday night. Jaren Holmes led the Cyclones with 18 points.

WACO, Texas (AP) —
Keyonte George had 23 points and Adam Flagler scored 20 as
14th-ranked Baylor held on to beat Oklahoma 82-72. Flagler scored 14
points in the final 13:11 of the game, the first of those being a
jumper that put Baylor back ahead to stay. Langston Love added 19
points for Baylor, which has won eight of nine overall since losing
its first three Big 12 games. The Sooners lost their sixth
consecutive Big 12 game, the last three since a 93-69 win over
then-No. 2 Alabama in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Grant Sherfield had
15 points, including four 3-pointers.

STILLWATER, Okla.
(AP) — Bryce Thompson scored 21 points, John-Michael Wright
converted a three-point play with 0.4 seconds left and Oklahoma State
beat Texas Tech 71-68 for its fourth straight win. Oklahoma State
took the lead early in the first half and led by as many as 15 points
in the second. A De’Vion Harmon layup for Texas Tech knotted it at
68-all with 18 seconds left for the game’s only tie. On the final
possession, Thompson’s jumper hit the back of the iron, but Wright
was already in the air for the putback. Jaylon Tyson scored 20 points
for Texas Tech (12-12, 1-10).

PHOENIX (AP) — The
defensive philosophy that has carried the Philadelphia Eagles to the
Super Bowl is relatively simple. A deep rotation of defensive linemen
provides constant pressure that makes opposing quarterbacks
uncomfortable and often leads to them ending on the ground. Few teams
have gotten to the quarterback more frequently this season than the
Eagles, who are closing in on the NFL’s most prolific season ever
when it comes to sacks. That will be the formula the Eagles will hope
to replicate on Sunday against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City
Chiefs.

PHOENIX (AP) — The
Philadelphia Eagles left their dog masks at home. Back in the Super
Bowl five years after winning the first Lombardi Trophy in franchise
history, the Eagles took a different path to reach this one. They’re
1 1/2-point favorites against the Kansas City Chiefs, per FanDuel
Sportsbook, after outscoring the Giants and 49ers 69-14 in the
playoffs. Last time here, the Eagles became the first No. 1 seed to
enter the playoffs as a home underdog. After sneaking past Atlanta in
the divisional round, they were underdogs against Minnesota in the
NFC championship game. They routed the Vikings and went on to beat
Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the favored New England Patriots in the
Super Bowl.

PHOENIX (AP) — Any
success that the Kansas City Chiefs have in slowing down Jalen Hurts
and the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl probably rests on the
shoulders of Chris Jones. The All-Pro defensive tackle is having the
finest season of his career, and his two sacks in the AFC title game
against Cincinnati helped the Chiefs reach this stage. Jones emerged
alongside Aaron Donald as the league's most dominant interior lineman
this season, and helping a Kansas City pass rush that was among the
worst in the NFL last season suddenly become one of the best.

PHOENIX (AP) —
It's likely the only time football fans will see Kansas City’s Chad
Henne or Philadelphia’s Gardner Minshew during the Super Bowl will
be on the sideline. But this is the NFL and sometimes things don’t
go according to plan. That’s why the backup quarterbacks for the
Chiefs and Eagles could be some of the most important players on
their team’s roster heading into Sunday’s showdown. In a lot of
ways, it’s been the year of the backup quarterback. A total of 68
QBs started at least one game during the regular season, an average
of more than two per team and a record for a non-strike year.

ST. LOUIS (AP) —
The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired left-hander Anthony Misiewicz
from their cross-state rival Kansas City Royals for cash
considerations. To make room on the 40-man roster, St. Louis
designated right-hander James Naile for assignment on the Missouri
native’s 30th birthday. The 28-year-old Misiewicz split last season
between the Mariners and Kansas City. He went 1-2 with a 4.34 ERA
with 27 strikeouts in 29 innings. Misiewicz was expendable when the
Royals bolstered their bullpen with a series of recent moves.

PHOENIX (AP) — The
Phoenix Suns acquired 13-time All-Star Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn
Nets, according to multiple reports. The outlets, citing unnamed
sources, said the Suns added Durant to a starting lineup that already
includes an All-Star backcourt of Chris Paul and Devin Booker, along
with center Deandre Ayton. Phoenix sent Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges,
Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and additional draft compensation
to the Nets. The Suns also receive forward T.J. Warren in the deal.

Thursday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs lost one of the NFL’s most dynamic receivers when Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins.

Kansas City revamped its receiving group in the offseason and the new players quickly meshed with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, riding a high-scoring wave all the way to the Super Bowl.

“I'm proud of our guys for the job that they've done,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday. “We had a lot of new faces in there.”

Kansas City's receiving crew was one of its biggest question marks heading into Sunday's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Chiefs placed Mecole Hardman on injured reserve Monday after he reinjured his pelvis in the AFC Championship against Cincinnati. Kansas City also faced the possibility of not having two others after JuJu Smith-Schuster left the AFC title game with knee inflammation and Kadarius Toney sprained his ankle.

The good news: both were back at practice this week.

“They look good,” Reid said. “We'll see how it goes the rest of the week.”

All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce is still Mahomes' go-to target, catching 100 passes for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns.

With Hill in Miami having an All-Pro season, the Chiefs' new receivers — Hardman was the only returnee — have spread the field in an offense that led the NFL in scoring and total yards.

Smith-Schuster was Kansas City's big offseason pickup, signing with the Chiefs after five prolific seasons in Pittsburgh. The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder is a strong possession receiver who isn't afraid of catching passes over the middle. He has 78 catches for 933 yards and three touchdowns.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who spent his first four seasons with Green Bay, has field-stretching speed and led the NFL in yards per catch two years ago. Toney has given the Chiefs added depth since being traded from the New York Giants in October, catching 14 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns in seven games.

Rookie Skyy Moore had problems with fumbles as a punt returner early in the season, but has been a versatile addition to the offense. He's filled the role Hill had on jet sweeps and had the key punt return to set up Kansas City's winning field goal in the AFC Championship.

"We lost an all-time great receiver in Tyreek Hill, someone that did a lot of great things for us, but we’ve got a lot of great receivers as well, “ Mahomes said. ”And coach (Eric) Bieniemy and coach Reid, they went in there and learned what their strengths were, and we maximized that this year."

It was good enough to get the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl for the third time in four seasons.

Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed cleared concussion protocol after he was injured against the Bengals, giving the Chiefs some needed experience in a young defensive secondary. The third-year cornerback was Kansas City's second-leading tackler with 108 this season, had 3.5 sacks and three interceptions.

Mahomes also is progressing from a high ankle sprain suffered against Jacksonville in the divisional round, though he still isn't 100%.

“I’ll play through all injuries that the trainers will let me play through,” he said. "As long as the trainers are OK for me to get out there, I’m going to play through it.”

Tuesday Statewide Basketball Scores

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Markquis Nowell scored 18 points and No. 12 Kansas State finished strong, snapping a two-game skid by beating No. 17 TCU 82-61 on Tuesday night.

The Wildcats outscored TCU 17-2 to end the game.

Kansas State (19-5, 7-4 Big 12), which lost to TCU earlier this season, moved within a game of first-place Texas in a crowded conference race. The Wildcats are tied with Kansas, a half-game behind Iowa State.

Keyontae Johnson and Desi Sills each had 14 points for Kansas State, Tykei Greene added 13 and David N'Guessan had 10.

TCU (17-7, 6-5) was led by Damion Baugh with 14 points. Micah Peavy and Jakobe Coles each had 11 and Emanuel Miller had 10.

TCU played without preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Mike Miles Jr., who missed his third straight game after hyper-extending his knee Jan. 28 against Mississippi.

Nowell, who spent his first three seasons at Arkansas-Little Rock, hit a short jumper in the first half to record his 1,700th career point. He also passed Steve Henson's school record with his 187th assist of the season late in the game.

Johnson again struggled with foul trouble. He picked up two offensive fouls in the first 10 minutes, after collecting two in the first minute-plus Saturday against Texas. He finished the half with five points, but was limited to 10 minutes of action.

Holding a two-point lead, Kansas State went on a 13-2 run early in the second half to open up a comfortable lead. TCU closed to 65-59 with 4:49 left, but an alley-oop slam by Greene punctuated an 11-0 run that iced the game.

The Wildcats led 36-30 at halftime. They had six turnovers before the break after having 20 in the first game against the Horned Frogs.
