ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Clyde Edwards-Helaire showed new teammate Le’Veon Bell and the rest of the NFL how dominant the Kansas City Chiefs’ running attack is already.

The rookie had 161 yards rushing and Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to Travis Kelce, leading the Chiefs to a 26-17 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night in a game that was originally scheduled for last Thursday.

Mahomes finished 21 of 26 for 225 yards. His first scoring toss to Kelce was the 90th of his career in his 37th game, breaking the NFL record for fewest games to 90 TD passes. Hall of Famer Dan Marino had the previous mark at 40 games.

Darrel Williams scored on 13-yard run to cap a nearly eight-minute, 82-yard drive that gave the Chiefs a 20-10 lead with 1:18 left in the third quarter, effectively sealing the game.

The Chiefs are off to a their third 5-1 start in four seasons, and they bounced back from a sloppy 40-32 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 11.

Last week, Kansas City added another weapon to its high-powered offense by signing Bell a few days after he was cut by the New York Jets. Bell is expected to make his debut this weekend at Denver.

<a href="https://twitter.com/LeVeonBell/status/1318303511612981250?s=20" target="_blank">“I can’t wait,”</a>&nbsp;Bell tweeted during the game.

Buffalo (4-2) lost its second straight. The Bills fell 42-16 at Tennessee last Tuesday, a game that was moved because of a COVID-19 outbreak on the Titans. That led to the Kansas City-Buffalo game being pushed back as well.

The Chiefs, who were originally scheduled to play three games in 11 days, wound up having two extra days of rest on Buffalo.

Josh Allen finished 14 of 27 for 122 yards with touchdown passes to Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley.

In what was supposed to be a showdown of the NFL’s top passers, the Chiefs leaned on their running game to help keep the Allen-led Bills cooling their heels on the sideline.

The Chiefs dominated time of possession by more than 15 minutes, rushing 46 times — the most in eight seasons under coach Andy Reid — for 245 yards. It was the first time Kansas City topped 200 yards rushing since Mahmoes took over the starting job.

Buffalo’s run defense had its worst outing since giving up 273 yards in a loss to New England on Dec. 23, 2018.

The Chiefs, up 23-17, avoided a major scare when Buffalo’s Justin Zimmer stripped the ball from Edwards-Helaire at the Kansas City 30. The play was ruled a fumble on the field, but that call was overturned after replays showed Edwards-Helaire’s knee was down.

Two plays later, on third-and-11, Mahomes scrambled out of trouble and hit Byron Pringle for 37 yards.

The drive finished with Harrison Butker hitting a 30-yard field goal with 1:56 left.

As they’ve done all season, the Bills elected to stay in their locker room for the performance of the national anthem. The Chiefs were along their sideline, with defensive end Alex Okafor the only player spotted kneeling.

The Bills continued to play in an empty stadium because of state COVID-19 regulations.

Chiefs: T Mitchell Schwartz, who started his 134th consecutive game, did not return after the first series because of a back injury. He has the longest active streak among offensive linemen and third longest among offensive players. Okafor was ruled out after hurting his hamstring in the second quarter.

Bills: CB Cam Lewis did not return after hurting his wrist in the first half. Starting left guard Cody Ford was carted off the sideline after hurting his right knee in the fourth quarter.

Chiefs: WR Sammy Watkins did not play after hurting his hamstring last week.

Bills: Buffalo’s defensive struggles led to a line shakeup with DE Trent Murphy and DT Harrison Phillips inactive. They were replaced by Bryan Cox and Justin Zimmer, who were elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day.

Bills: At the winless Jets on Sunday. Buffalo beat New York 27-17 in the season opener.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Denver kicker Brandon McManus had six field goals and linebacker Malik Reed came up with a big sack late to help the Broncos hold on for an 18-12 win over the New England Patriots Sunday in a game twice delayed following positive coronavirus tests for both teams.

Sunday’s game was originally scheduled for last week but got postponed twice, first by a day, then by seven. The delay was caused after multiple Patriots players tested positive for COVID-19, including quarterback Cam Newton and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore.

New England (2-3) rallied from an 18-3 deficit and nearly pulled off the comeback, but had three turnovers.

Drew Lock finished 10 of 24 for 189 yards in his first start since injuring his shoulder in Denver’s Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh. He was steady early, but had back-to-back interceptions in the fourth quarter to let the Patriots back into the game.

Denver’s defense entered the game with two takeaways on the season. It forced three on Sunday, coming up with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

It underscored a rough day for New England, which was held to 288 yards.

It was the first game back for Newton, who returned after missing New England’s Week 4 loss at Kansas City. He finished 17 of 25 for 157 yards. He also rushed 10 times for 76 yards and touchdown.

The Broncos’ win snapped a four-game losing streak in New England.

Denver (2-3) won despite being without leading rusher Melvin Gordon and top pass catcher Noah Fant, who was out with an ankle injury. Phillip Lindsay started in Gordon’s place and rushed 23 times for 101 yards. Tim Patrick had four catches for 101 yards.

McManus, who connected on field goals of 52 and 54 yards, now has six games with multiple 50-yard field goals. That is tied with Baltimore’s Justin Tucker for the most in NFL history.

After taking a 15-3 lead early in the third quarter, the Broncos defense came up with a second turnover when Ryan Izzo caught a pass over the middle but was stripped by cornerback Michael Ojemudia. Justin Simmons recovered the fumble, giving the ball to Denver on the New England 42.

McManus connected on his 54-yarder field goal four plays later to stretch Denver’s lead.

The Patriots closed the gap to 18-9 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Newton with 8:31 left in the fourth. But he was stopped short on the ensuing 2-point conversion.

New England got another chance when Lock’s pass intended for Patrick was picked off by J.C. Jackson and returned 30 yards to the Denver 25. Nick Folk connected on a 38-yard field goal four plays later to make it 18-12 with 3:23 remaining.

This time Denver’s ensuing drive lasted just one play when another long pass attempt from Lock to Patrick was intercepted by Jonathan Jones.

Newton went to work, connecting with Julian Edelman for a 22-yard gain to get to the 50.

After a trio of short passes, Newton then plowed forward for 4 yards on fourth-and-1 at the Denver 41 to keep the drive going.

Newton was then involved in a trick play when Edelman found him on a 16-yard gain to get inside the Denver 25.

Denver’s Malik Reed sacked Newton for a 6-yard loss. Newton then completed a 6-yard pass to James White setting up a fourth-and-10 on the Denver 24.

Receiver N’Keal Harry got separation, but Newton’s pass was well wide, turning the ball over on downs.

Broncos: WR Diontae Spencer left the game with a shoulder issue. ... LB Josh Watson left the game with a hamstring issue. ... G Dalton Risner also left with a shoulder injury.

Patriots: Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor needed assistance getting off the field after an ankle injury late in the first quarter and didn’t return. … Defensive lineman Adam Butler left in the second quarter with an elbow injury.

Denver returns home to host the Chiefs next Sunday.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Leddie Brown broke open a close game with a long touchdown run in the third quarter and caught one of Jarret Doege’s three touchdown passes to lead West Virginia to a 38-17 victory Saturday over a winless Kansas team that was without coach Les Miles.

Before a crowd of 10,759 in the first game that West Virginia allowed the general public to attend amid the pandemic, the Mountaineers (3-1, 2-1 Big 12) overcame a bevy of mistakes to beat the Jayhawks for the seventh straight time.

With West Virginia clinging to a 17-10 lead late in the third quarter, Brown came into the game needing to get a first down.

Brown rumbled 87 yards up the middle untouched, the start of three straight touchdowns for the Mountaineers.

“I’d seen a little crease. I jumped through it and I seen green — a whole bunch of green field,” Brown said. “I just hit it.”

The 210-pound junior compiled 195 yards on 18 carries, sitting out the fourth quarter. With 515 yards through four games, Brown has eclipsed his season rushing totals in each of the past two seasons.

Brown also had a 6-yard scoring reception in the second quarter from Doege, who also had TD passes of 33 yards to Bryce Ford-Wheaton and 8 yards to Sam James.

Doege completed 26 of 44 passes for 318 yards.

West Virginia coach Neal Brown called it the “best combined running and passing that we’ve played as far as in our league games. I thought it was a step forward. There’s things that we’ve got to continue to clean up.”

Miles tested positive for the coronavirus a week ago and was cleared to return to the Jayhawks on Thursday. But he chose not to travel with the team out of caution. Tight ends coach Joshua Eargle found out Thursday night he would fill in for Miles against the Mountaineers.

“This was one of the most humbling experiences of my entire life,” Eargle said. Miles “is gut-wrenched. He’s heartbroken. He can’t make the trip with his team. His team’s ready to go fly for victory for him. This staff is unbelievable, man. That’s an elite football staff in there, and they just didn’t have the right leader today. Proud of them, but it’s extremely humbling that Coach Miles would choose me to take those Hawks on the field today in his absence.”

Despite some bright moments early, the result was the same: The Jayhawks (0-4, 0-3) have now lost 51 straight true road games in the conference.

Kansas jumped out to a 10-0 lead, including Andrew Parchment’s 43-yard scoring catch from Miles Kendrick off a deflected pass, but the Jayhawks managed little offense the rest of the game.

“I really liked the way we came out,” Eargle said. “I thought we came out with fire. We hit some adversity, got behind the chains a little bit and stumbled some.”

Pooka Williams scored on a 92-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter for the Jayhawks.

Kansas: The Jayhawks were limited to 157 yards of offense, including 95 through the air against the Big 12′s top defense. Kansas entered the game last among the 76 FBS teams that have played with 8.2 passing yards per completion.

West Virginia: The Mountaineers had been looking to get more explosive plays downfield either with long runs or passes, and they got both. Leddie Brown had eight runs of at least 10 yards, including his long TD. Doege averaged 12 yards per completion.

West Virginia’s Darius Stills, a 285-pound defensive lineman, made a diving interception on a second-quarter pass that was deflected from the secondary back toward him.

“He laid out like a wide receiver there,” said West Virginia linebacker Josh Chandler-Semedo.

Neal Brown called it “a heck of a catch. The only reason that play happens is because he’s chasing the ball. Because he’s doing what we ask him to do and playing as hard as he possibly can and he’s chasing the ball, good things happen.”

HAYS – The TMP-Marian Monarchs rallied from down nine points
in the third quarter to upend the Cimarron Bluejays with a 16-12 win Friday
night at Lewis Field.

Friday’s nights matchup between the top two teams in 2A district
seven was as good as advertised with the two teams playing to a 0-0 tie after
the first quarter and a 3-0 TMP lead at the halftime break.

The only points came with just under 4:30 to play in the
second quarter on a 25-yard field goal from TMP’s Jace Wentling.

The scoring began two pick up in the second half when
Cimarron scored on a 70-yard touchdown pass following a TMP turnover. But a blocked
extra-point by Lance Lang left the scored at 6-3 Cimarron.

TMP turned it over for a second straight possession, and the
third time in the game on the ensuing possession and Cimarron marched right
down the field and scored on a Braxton Harrison eight-yard touchdown run. He
had runs of 25 and 11 yards on the drive before the touchdown. But TMP was able
to keep Cimarron out of the endzone on the two point try keeping the score 12-3
3:44 to play in the third quarter.

The Monarchs had an answer this time as sophomore
quarterback Kade Harris hit Jace Wentling for a 69-yard touchdown that pulled
TMP within three with just over two minutes to play in the third quarter. 

Midway through the fourth quarter a pass from Cimarron’s
quarterback deflected off his receiver’s hands and was intercepted by TMP’s
Harris. 

A good return set the Monarchs up inside the Bluejays red
zone and on third-down and goal Harris found Wentling in the endzone for the
second time, this time from four-yards out. After the Wentling extra-point TMP
led 16-12 with just under three minutes to play.

Cimarron was putting together a drive as time expired by TMP’s
Kenton Ginther and Kaleb Hagans recorded their first career sacks on back-to-back
plays that gave TMP the ball back on a turnover on downs by the Bluejays and
help the Monarchs secure the 16-12 win.

TMP outgains Cimarron 290to 236 yards of total offense. 

Harris completed 6-of-10 passes for 136 yards, two
touchdowns and one interception. He added a team-high 86rushing yards.

Wentling has now catch a pass in 15 of his last 16 games and
has four touchdown receptions in the last two weeks.

The Monarchs improved to 3-0 in games decided by seven points
or less.

They are 6-1 for the first time since 1989 and earned their
first six-game win streak since 2002. They are also 4-0 and sit atop 2A district
number seven heading into a week eight matchup with Lakin.

Cimarron dropped to 4-3 and 3-1 in the district.

🏈TMP rallies to beat Cimarron and improve to 6-1

Hays took its undefeated record on the road to Maize South on Friday night. The Mavericks ended the Indians' season in the playoffs in 2019. The Indians punted after just three plays to open the game. Maize South then fumbled the ball on their first play of offense. Hays High took advantage with Jaren Kanak scoring three plays later from 23 yards out for a 7-0 lead.

Maize South tied the game less than four minutes later on a 10 yard touchdown pass. It was the first points allowed in the first quarter by the Hays High defense this season.&nbsp;

The Indians thought they took the lead back on their next possession but a third down touchdown run was called back on a penalty. Hays would miss a 39-yard field goal one play later.

Maize South snapped off back to back touchdowns on a 14-play and 5-play drive for a 21-7 halftime lead.

Hays refused to go away in the second half. The Indians would shut out the Mavericks in the second half, a team that averages 44 points per game. Wyatt Crain picked off a pass to open the second half. Hays would go six plays for 53 yards and score on a fourth down touchdown pass from Jaren Kanak to Bryce Salmans for 23 yards.&nbsp;

Hays continued to shutout the Mavericks and took over the ball at the Maize South 17 following a fumbled punt snap. Hays, though, would fail to score after a 15-yard dead ball penalty.&nbsp;

The Indians had one shot left. Hays High took over the ball at their own two yard line driving 98 yards for a 21-20 deficit. Hays elected to go for two but failed to convert with 2:38 remaining in the game. Maize South recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.

Hays falls to 5-1 on the year while Maize South improves to 4-2. Kanak carried the ball 36 times for 184 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw for 90 yards on 5 of 6 passing and one score.

Hays is scheduled to host Kapaun next Friday at Lewis Field Stadium.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - Although cleared by medical officials, Kansas football coach Les Miles will not travel with the Jayhawks for Saturday's game at West Virginia.

In a statement Friday, the university said Miles has been cleared to travel to Morgantown but will not out of caution.

&nbsp;Statement from Head Coach Les Miles “Yesterday, I received clearance from Kansas Team Health to travel with our football team to Morgantown. I am very grateful for the high level of care that I have received throughout my time since I tested positive for COVID-19 early last week. I continue to feel healthy and strong, and was fortunate to only have mild symptoms. “However, after much consideration and several in-depth conversations with the medical team, our coaching staff, and Kansas Athletics administration, I have made the difficult decision to not make the trip to West Virginia. While my 10-day isolation window was completed this morning, there is too much still unknown about this virus for me to feel 100 percent confident that I won’t transmit it to someone who comes into close contact with me on the team charter, hotel or at the game Saturday. “As we continue to work our way through this pandemic, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our players, coaches and staff that make up this great team. As the head coach, it is up to me to set the right example for our student-athletes, and that is what I am doing with this decision by not traveling with the team. “I met with our players and staff this morning to let them know that I will not be traveling with them to West Virginia and they fully appreciate and support my decision. This was a difficult thing for me to communicate with them, but we have had to make a lot of tough decisions throughout this pandemic and I feel that this is the best decision for the health and safety of our players and staff. As a head coach, I always want to put my players in position to play with confidence and I feel that by making this decision I am doing that. “Joshua Eargle will fill in as acting head coach for the game and I know he will represent us well. I have full trust in my coaching staff and know our student-athletes are in great hands. I look forward to rejoining the team in-person on Sunday. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!” Statement from Dr. Larry Magee, Kansas Team Health “Coach Miles is doing well and has been medically cleared to leave isolation. However, because of the short time interval between the end of his isolation and the departure of the football team, and out of concern for the safety of his staff and players, he is not traveling to West Virginia. Coach Miles experienced only minor symptoms over the isolation period and is looking forward to rejoining the team on Sunday.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

While my 10-day isolation window was completed this morning, there is too much still unknown about this virus for me to feel 100 percent confident that I won’t transmit it to someone who comes into close contact with me on the team charter, hotel or at the game Saturday. “As we continue to work our way through this pandemic, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our players, coaches and staff that make up this great team. As the head coach, it is up to me to set the right example for our student-athletes, and that is what I am doing with this decision by not traveling with the team. “I met with our players and staff this morning to let them know that I will not be traveling with them to West Virginia and they fully appreciate and support my decision. This was a difficult thing for me to communicate with them, but we have had to make a lot of tough decisions throughout this pandemic and I feel that this is the best decision for the health and safety of our players and staff. As a head coach, I always want to put my players in position to play with confidence and I feel that by making this decision I am doing that. “Joshua Eargle will fill in as acting head coach for the game and I know he will represent us well. I have full trust in my coaching staff and know our student-athletes are in great hands. I look forward to rejoining the team in-person on Sunday. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!” Statement from Dr. Larry Magee, Kansas Team Health “Coach Miles is doing well and has been medically cleared to leave isolation. However, because of the short time interval between the end of his isolation and the departure of the football team, and out of concern for the safety of his staff and players, he is not traveling to West Virginia. Coach Miles experienced only minor symptoms over the isolation period and is looking forward to rejoining the team on Sunday.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

MIAA announces basketball schedule format, spring competition start dates for soccer, volleyball

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed running back Le’Veon Bell two days after he was released by the New York Jets.

The team announced the move Thursday to add another potential dynamic offensive player to an offense that already features Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.

“Kansas City, #ChiefsKingdom, thank you for the opportunity let’s go!” Bell tweeted.

Bell was cut by the Jets after a disappointing tenure in New York that lasted less than two full seasons. Bell and coach Adam Gase appeared to not mesh since the running back signed a four-year, $52.5 million contract with $35 million guaranteed last year as a free agent.

Bell spent his first six NFL years in Pittsburgh, and was an All-Pro twice and ranking second in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 7,996 from 2012-17.

He sat out the entire 2018 season in a contract dispute with the Steelers. He became a free agent and joined the Jets in March 2019 and was expected to be a dynamic presence in Gase’s offense.

Instead, Bell never consistently flashed the skills that made him one of the NFL’s best dual threat running backs before sitting out. He rushed for 789 yards and three touchdowns and also wasn’t as prominently featured in the passing game as expected, catching 66 passes for 461 yards and a score.

Bell averaged 3.22 yards per carry in two seasons with the Jets, the second lowest in the league among qualifying backs during that span. He also had the fifth-lowest yards per touch from scrimmage at 4.0

Bell, who missed three games this season with a hamstring injury, finished with 74 yards on 19 carries and three catches for 39 yards. And there were increasing rumblings that Bell wasn’t happy.

Now he joins the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in a backfield with first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who has rushed for 344 yards and has 169 yards receiving in five games.

Bell gives coach Andy Reid another option after postseason star Damien Williams opted out of the season over coronavirus concerns.

🏈 Chiefs sign Le’Veon Bell 2 days after release from Jets

HAYS - After having their season cut short less than 24-hours
before the start of their first-round game at the NCAA Tournament this past
March, the Fort Hays State women’s basketball team is back on the court with
their first official practices of the 2020-21 season.

The Tigers graduated four of the most decorated seniors in
program history and have six true-freshmen on the roster.

“We have a lot of new faces and although they’re all pretty
talented kids it just takes a while to get everything straight and for them to
know where they’re going” said 13th year head coach Tony Hobson.

“There’s not two of three of them that I just took a shot on
and hoping they develop.” Hobson said. “These are all pretty accomplished
players and [we’re] looking for a lot of big contributors out of that class.”

The Tigers return three seniors led by starting point guard
Jaden Hobbs who earned third-team All-MIAA honors last season after leading the
team with 12.6 points per game and was second in the MIAA and third in FHSU program
history with 4.7 assists per game.

Whitney Randall is expected to move into a full-time
starting role after starting in 20 of the Tigers 30 games a season ago. Randall
averaged 9.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.

Madison Mittie came off the bench in all 30 games last season
and averaged 4.0 points in 13.7 minutes per contest.

FHSU also returns juniors Cydney Bergman, Hailey Walker and
Cassidy Haufler. Bergman is expected to play an even bigger role this season
after averaging 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game off the bench last season.


Walker missed the first portion of last season with a shoulder
injury. She played in 19 games and averaged 2.0 points. Haufler appeared in 19
games and averaged 1.8 points and 2.0 rebounds.

Sophomores Lauryn Reither and Allison McFarren both received
valuable playing time as true freshman last season. 

Reither, who was coming off a knee injury in high school,
played in 25 games and averaged 2.8 points and dished out 25 assists, eight of
them in a win against Saint Mary in late November.
