🎧 Defend the Fort Podcast: FHSU Football Replay

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Vic Fangio doesn’t want to hear about how the Denver Broncos are getting suckered by the NFL after their game at New England was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-nfl-denver-broncos-tennessee-titans-new-england-patriots-2e5f98c82c19b9bf9516f13ef3b1ca41">postponed&nbsp;</a>for a second time Sunday following the Patriots’ fourth positive coronavirus test.

“Yeah, we compete like hell on Sundays to beat each other, but ultimately we’re all in this thing together,” Fangio said. “It doesn’t matter who’s at fault or who had the positive test. We all just have to deal with it.”

Fangio said he trusts the NFL’s handling of virus outbreaks in New England and Nashville because the league is working hand in hand with the players association on COVID-19 safety measures.

“In a weird way, I’m kind of happy to see some of this stuff happen because you see who the whiners are ... and who can’t handle adversity,” Fangio added during a memorable take on a videoconference call Sunday. “And I’m going to try hard that the Denver Broncos don’t fall into any of those categories.”

Fangio's phraseology has raised eyebrows before, such as last summer when the 61-year-old white head coach was criticized for being tone-deaf after suggesting discrimination and racism weren’t issues in the NFL. He later apologized, explaining he meant only to convey that such ills didn’t typically permeate NFL locker rooms or its playing fields.

On Sunday, Fangio didn’t call out anybody by name. But several of his players have taken to social media to register their complaints, first when the Patriots game was pushed back a day to Monday and again Sunday when it was postponed to next Sunday.

“This whole practice all bye week thing is not ideal for a non ota, injury at an all time high season” defensive end Shelby Harris&nbsp;tweeted Sunday, 72 hours after posting this take: “Why are we getting punished when we did nothing wrong. Pats go on a bye next week and we are stuck on a short week playing the Dolphins help it make sense.”

“Mann we ain’t even do anything” tweeted linebacker Bradley Chubb on Sunday, and running back&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Melvingordon25/status/1315282193334243329" target="_blank">Melvin Gordon</a>&nbsp;chimed in with, “Ain’t no way we practiced all week and they canceled our game.”

Fangio said he understood his players’ feelings.

“But my message to them and to anybody is we were inconvenienced by this, but it very easily could have been flipped around to where we had the positive tests and the Patriots were inconvenienced by it,” Fangio suggested.

“So, I’m happy that the positive tests weren’t in our building. But I’m under no illusion that at some point we might have a positive test or two and be the cause of a game getting moved down the road.”

The latest postponement of the Broncos’ game at New England (2-2) also forced the NFL to move Denver’s game against Miami from next weekend to Nov. 22. The Broncos (1-3) were supposed to host the Chargers that week, and that game was moved up to Nov. 1, which was originally Denver’s bye.

So, the Broncos will have had a 17-day break between games and won’t get another break all season. The Patriots wouldn’t be nearly as inconvenienced, simply having to flip-flop their bye week with their game against Denver.

After meeting with his team Sunday morning, Fangio dismissed his players until Wednesday, when he’ll also re-evaluate QB Drew Lock’s prospects of returning from a sprained right shoulder.

Despite these speed bumps, Fangio said he still has faith the NFL will play out the season and crown a champion during the pandemic like the NHL did and the NBA and MLB are doing.

“What makes it harder for us compared to baseball is we can’t go and play doubleheaders and we can’t make a nine-inning game and seven-inning game,” Fangio said. “But we’ll get through it.”

🏈 Broncos coach: virus outbreak shows who the ‘whiners are’

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Derek Carr could be forgiven for thinking he was due for another miserable day at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Raiders quarterback had never won in six tries in Kansas City, his quarterback rating so low in his personal house of horrors that he probably deserved to be benched. And when Carr threw an early interception Sunday that helped the Chiefs take a commanding lead, well, it seemed as if history was repeating itself.

“I’ve had a lot of sad walks up that ramp,” Carr said later, “but you know what? Not today.”

Instead, the oft-criticized quarterback steadied his shaky team, outplayed Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes and led the Raiders to a 40-32 victory. Carr finished with 347 yards and three touchdowns passing. Perhaps fittingly, he executed the quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 that clinched the win.

“I think we’re back a little bit,” Carr said with a smile, “but we have to win football games against these guys to make it a rivalry. We haven’t done that in a long time. To make it a rivalry, we have to win games like this one.”

The game, tied 24-24 after three quarters, could have gone either way. But with the high-powered Kansas City offense sputtering, the Raiders got the go-ahead touchdown&nbsp;from Josh Jacobs, a field goal from Daniel Carlson and an interception of Mahomes on fourth down to set up Jacob's second TD and establish breathing room.

Mahomes quickly answered, hitting Travis Kelce for a TD and Darrel Williams for the 2-point try. But the Raiders (3-2) recovered a squib quick, Jacobs rumbled for a first down as the Chiefs (4-1) burned timeouts, and Carr sneaked for the crucial first down.

“It clicked to me in the locker room. I’m like, ‘Man, this is your first win,’” Jacobs said. “It feels good to see him, and see how good he played in this game, being a captain. He just controlled the game, made sure everybody stayed positive.”

Mahomes spent the entire game trying to escape the Las Vegas pass rush, which manhandled the Chiefs offensive line. He finished with 340 yards passing and two touchdowns along with an interception. Kelce had 108 yards receiving.

“You know, we just didn’t execute at a high enough level,” Mahomes said. “We weren’t running plays the right way and I wasn’t finding the right reads, and that carried over and we didn’t play the second half the way we wanted to.”

The first have ended in 24-24 after the teams combined for nearly 700 yards of offense.

The Chiefs got a touchdown pass from Mahomes to Sammy Watkins, who later left with a hamstring injury, but also had two TD passes brought back by penalties. The first was a 58-yarder to Hill wiped out by a holding call on Kelechi Osemele, who left with a knee injury two plays later. The second was a strike to Clyde Edwards-Helaire late in the half negated by Kelce’s offensive pass interference.

Meanwhile, Carr tossed yet another interception at Arrowhead Stadium, but this time he answered with three first-half touchdown passes: 59 yards to Nelson Agholor, who simply split the Chiefs secondary; tight end Darren Waller in the back of the end zone; and Henry Ruggs III, who hauled ina&nbsp; 72-yard throw&nbsp;for a 24-21 lead.

“They got behind us,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I would say a couple of them were just beat, and then other ones, I’m not sure we were doing the right things. But that’s how these things go.”

The Chiefs tied it at halftime, and the game slowed down during a scoreless third quarter. The Chiefs had to punt on their first three possessions, gaining just two first downs, one on a penalty.

The Raiders pulled ahead on Jacobs’ bullish 7-yard run, then made it a two-possession game when Carr hit Hunter Renfrow for 42 yards on third-and-18 to set up Carlson’s 43-yard field goal. Jeff Heath’s pick of Mahomes on fourth down a few minutes later allowed Jacobs to score again.

“We did not want to give Mahomes another crack at it,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. “I marveled at a lot of the plays that Derek made, and I marveled at what Mahomes is able to do. A lot of his offense is unscripted — it’s completely creative, and a lot of it is drawn up by him. Thank God we don’t have to see them again for a few weeks.”

The Raiders placed DT Maurice Hurst on the COVID-19 list earlier this week, and the Chiefs reportedly had an assistant strength and conditioning coach test positive. But contact tracing was done within both organizations and there were no additional positive tests.

Las Vegas: FS Lamarcus Joyner hurt his hamstring on the opening play, Renfrow was shaken up returning a punt but remained in the game, and CB Keisean Nixon hurt his hip covering a punt early in the second half.

Kansas City: Along with injuries to Osemele and Watkins, LB Anthony Hitchens hurt his hand and was off the field in the fourth quarter, when the Chiefs were unable to stop the Las Vegas offense.

Chiefs: were supposed to visit the Bills on Thursday night but will instead play Oct. 19, giving Buffalo time to make up its game against Tennessee on Tuesday.

Raiders: off before facing the Buccaneers on Oct. 25.

🏈 Carr helps Raiders snap Chiefs’ 13-game win streak

The NFL has postponed the Denver-New England game indefinitely due to another positive coronavirus test with the Patriots.

That game, originally scheduled for Sunday, had been moved to Monday night.

A person familiar with the situation says the Patriots have closed their facility again after the positive test result, while the Tennessee Titans announced they closed their facility Sunday morning after a staff member tested positive.

The latest result also endangers the Titans’ game with Buffalo (4-0) set for Tuesday night after it was moved from Sunday. Six games have been moved already as the league is in its fifth week of the schedule.

There were no other positive COVID-19 tests Sunday.

The NFL rescheduled New England’s game for a second straight week after reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore tested positive. This latest positive result puts their outbreak at four, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team announced the latest results.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio, in a memorable take on the outbreaks in the league, noted on a Zoom call that what is occurring with the Titans and Patriots could happen to anyone.

“But my message to them and to anybody is we were inconvenienced by this,” he said, “but it very easily could have been flipped around to where we had the positive tests and the Patriots were inconvenienced by it. So, I’m happy that the positive tests weren’t in our building.

“But I’m under no illusion that at some point we might have a positive test or two and be the cause of a game getting moved down the road. So, we’re all in this together, the entire league is.

“And in a weird way, I’m kind of happy to see some of this stuff happen because you see who the whiners are ... and who can’t handle adversity. And I’m going to try hard that the Denver Broncos don’t fall into any of those categories.”

Fangio added that the NFL is considering several scenarios for when the Broncos will play New England.

The Titans last played Sept. 27 because of an outbreak that has now reached 24. They’ve already had a game with Pittsburgh first postponed, then rescheduled to Oct. 25. They sent out a statement saying they learned a staff member tested positive.

“We have temporarily closed our facility and are in communication with the league on the next steps,” the Titans said.

The Bears also had an issue, moving offensive lineman Badara Traore from their practice squad to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill addressed the uncertainty of the situation on Saturday.

“It was a roller coaster for sure,” he said. “Definitely the fact that we had guys with no symptoms testing positive and we had guys with full-blown symptoms getting consecutive negative tests on multiple days was really eye opening. Just the fact of we really don’t know.

“So, we have to treat everyone as if they have the virus. Unfortunately, really probably lost some faith in the testing system just through everything we’ve been through over the past week and a half. But we said that from the beginning that testing is not going to prevent the virus from being spread, it’s the way we handle ourselves with all the protocols and handle ourselves outside the building as well.”

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Kansas State got another non-offensive touchdown and a solid performance from a true freshman quarterback in his first start against one of the Big 12′s best defensive coaches.

That was enough for the Wildcats to improve to 3-0 in the Big 12 Conference.

AJ Parker returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown and Will Howard accounted for 203 of K-State’s 289 total yards in a 21-14 win at TCU on Saturday.

“They pressured him quite a bit. I thought he did a really nice job getting us into some good checks” coach Chris Klieman said of Howard. “He’s going to learn and get better. You’re talking about a true freshman coming into TCU, and his first start is against a Gary Patterson-coached defense. It’s a pretty tall task, and I thought he did a great job.”

Howard was only the fourth true freshman quarterback to start a game for the Wildcats (3-1, 3-0 Big 12), and the first since Josh Freeman in 2006. He was 8-of-19 passing for 117 yards with an interception and 86 yards rushing, though 80 came on one carry.

“It was far from perfect. We got it done, we did what we came here to do. I’m excited about that,” Howard said. “It’s a lot better to learn from a win, than to learn from a loss, and there’s a lot of to learn from here.”

Senior quarterback Skylar Thompson didn’t even make the trip to Fort Worth, a week after getting injured in the first half against Texas Tech. Howard played the second half of that game while Thompson was on the sideline out of uniform and with his arm in a sling. Klieman would only say afterward that Thompson wasn’t available.

The interception return by Parker in the third quarter that made it 21-7 was the 119th non-offensive TD since 1999 for Kansas State. That is the most by any FBS team in that stretch — going into Saturday, Alabama and Virginia Tech were tied for the second-most with 108.

With a chance to seal the game on a third-and-1 keeper with just over a minute left, Howard tripped while by himself for no gain near midfield. Klieman never thought about going for it since his defense was playing so well, and the punt pinned the Horned Frogs (1-2, 1-2) at their own 4.

“You can laugh about it now that we won. It was a read play, I made the right read,” Howard said. “I couldn’t tell you what really happened. You know fatigued legs, and tripped up a little bit, which obviously can’t happen.”

TCU still had a chance to tie the game after the Wildcats were penalized for roughing the passer on a desperation pass by Max Duggan as time expired. The penalty put the ball at the K-State 39 for an untimed play, and Duggan’s heave into a crowd in the end zone was knocked to the ground.

Duggan was 19-of-31 passing for 154 yards, and also had a 3-yard TD run on fourth-and-goal with 3:39 left. Darwin Barlow, one of TCU’s freshmen running backs, had a 7-yard TD.

“I’m disappointed in the loss, not how some of the younger guys played,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “In a game where you don’t have many choices, you have to make plays when you’re supposed to make plays and you can’t give them anything and we gave them something. At the end of the day we have to do a better job on all accounts.”

Blake Lynch kicked field goals of 25 and 53 yards in the first half, the shorter kick coming after the 80-yard run on the opening drive by Howard, whose 4-yard TD run gave the Wildcats a 14-7 halftime lead after the 2-point conversion.

The Wildcats could get into the Top 25 on Sunday for the first time this season. They were the first team out of this week’s poll.

Kansas State: The Wildcats have rebounded from that season-opening home loss against Arkansas State to start 3-0 in the Big 12 for the first time since 2014.

TCU: The Horned Frogs have lost four home games in a row. They were coming off their seventh win in nine years against Texas, but have lost both home games after having their only nonconference game called off because of a COVID-19 outbreak among a cluster of players and staff.

You know fatigued legs, and tripped up a little bit, which obviously can’t happen.”TCU still had a chance to tie the game after the Wildcats were penalized for roughing the passer on a desperation pass by Max Duggan as time expired. The penalty put the ball at the K-State 39 for an untimed play, and Duggan’s heave into a crowd in the end zone was knocked to the ground.Duggan was 19-of-31 passing for 154 yards, and also had a 3-yard TD run on fourth-and-goal with 3:39 left. Darwin Barlow, one of TCU’s freshmen running backs, had a 7-yard TD.“I’m disappointed in the loss, not how some of the younger guys played,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “In a game where you don’t have many choices, you have to make plays when you’re supposed to make plays and you can’t give them anything and we gave them something. At the end of the day we have to do a better job on all accounts.”THEY’RE GOODBlake Lynch kicked field goals of 25 and 53 yards in the first half, the shorter kick coming after the 80-yard run on the opening drive by Howard, whose 4-yard TD run gave the Wildcats a 14-7 halftime lead after the 2-point conversion.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Wildcats could get into the Top 25 on Sunday for the first time this season. They were the first team out of this week’s poll.THE TAKEAWAYKansas State: The Wildcats have rebounded from that season-opening home loss against Arkansas State to start 3-0 in the Big 12 for the first time since 2014.TCU: The Horned Frogs have lost four home games in a row. They were coming off their seventh win in nine years against Texas, but have lost both home games after having their only nonconference game called off because of a COVID-19 outbreak among a cluster of players and staff.UP NEXTKansas State: At home for the Sunflower State showdown against Kansas on Oct. 24.TCU: At home to play Oklahoma on Oct. 24.

SOUTHWESTERN HEIGHTS – The TMP-Marian Monarchs ran their win streak to five straight
games Friday no in a 48-6 rout of the Southwestern Heights Mustangs.

The Monarchs offense wasted no time getting in a groove scoring
20 first quarter points in just nine offensive plays.

The game started with a Southwestern Heights three-and-out
and TMP would put together a five-play drive that spanned 40 yards and was
capped off by a five-yard Kade Harris touchdown run to put TMP up 7-0. It was first
of two Harris rushing touchdowns on the night.

After the TMP touchdown the Mustangs gave the ball right
back to TMP two plays later on a fumble at their own 21-yard line. TMP scored
three plays later when Harris found Wentling for a 16-yard touchdown put TMP up
14-0.

After a Mustangs punt TMP’s Lance Lang scored on the very
next play on a 25-yard rushing touchdown giving TMP a 20-0 lead with just over
four minutes to play in the first quarter.

Midway through the second quarter Harris found Wentling for
a second time, this time from 39 yards out putting TMP up 27-0.

Southwestern Heights was able to get on the board with a
20-yard touchdown late in the second quarter and nearly added a second score but
TMP was able to stop the drive as the first half came to an end with TMP
leading 27-6 at halftime.

The Monarchs opened the second half with a 25-yard touchdown
pass from Harris to Lance Lang on a jet sweep that put TMP on top 34-6.

Harris added his second rushing touchdown of the game from
four yards out with just over two minutes left in the third quarter giving TMP
a 41-6 lead.

The Monarchs final score came in the fourth quarter when
Lang broke free for a 34-yard touchdown run putting TMP up 48-6.

Lang finished with a game-high 83 yards and two touchdowns
on the ground. Harris completed 7-of-10 passes for 104 yards and three touchdowns
and Jace Wentling recorded four receptions for 71 yards and two scored.

TMP improved to 5-1 with the win and 3-0 in district play. The
five straight wins is the most since 2002.

The Monarchs will take on Cimarron Friday night at Lewis
Field. Cimarron also improved to 3-0 in district play with a win over Lakin Friday.

🏈TMP routs Mustangs for fifth straight win

Following what amounted to a bye week in the middle of their season, Hays High played their postponed homecoming game by hosting Dodge City on Friday.

The Indians showed no rust scoring on the first play of the game. Dylan Dreiling took the ball over the right side for a 79 yard score that was followed by a two point conversion from 18 yards out by Jaren Kanak. The scoreboard read 8-0 just nineteen seconds into the game.

Dodge City failed to convert on fourth down inside their own 40 on the next drive. Hays though fumbled just two plays later at the 11. Neither offense could get a foothold for much of the first half following the fumble.

The Hays High defense that allowed just 41 yards in the last outing held Dodge City to two first downs in the first half and only 36 yards. The Red Demons had 4th and 25 from their own one yard line and elected to run the ball out of the end zone for a safety and a 10-0 Hays lead.&nbsp;

The Indians hit big on the ensuing drive. Jordan Dale found Kanak from 38 yards out and a 17-0 lead following the Jack Field PAT. Hays threatened to score again at the end of the first half after picking up a fumble but lost the ball on down at the Dodge City 19 yard line.

Hays held Dodge City to a punt to start second half and took over at their own five yard line. Eleven plays later Dreiling scored from eighteen yards out, his second touchdown of the night and a 23-0 lead.&nbsp;

The defense continued to hold Dodge City without points until 9:51 left to go in the game when Alden Knedler hit Matt Friess for a 17 yard pass and a 23-6 Hays advantage.&nbsp;

Linebacker Dalton Dale scored the final points for the Indians with a long interception returned for a touchdown with less than a minute remaining for the final 29-6 score.

Hays claimed the Western Athletic Conference crown for the first time since 2014. It also the first time since that season that Hays started at least 5-0.&nbsp;

Dreiling ended the night with 180 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Dale threw for 96 yards a score.

The Indians go on the road next week for a game against Maize South.

🏐 Monarchs fall out of KVA poll, Victoria up one spot

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has taken every precaution he can imagine to prevent contracting&nbsp;COVID-19, putting limits on who visits his home and even sleeping in a separate bedroom from his pregnant fiancée.

Now, an admitted “mental lapse” by the Super Bowl MVP has his team on edge.

Mahomes had just taken a knee to run out the clock on the Chiefs’ 26-10 victory over the Patriots on Monday night in a game that was delayed 24 hours by positive tests on each team.

Amid an innocent scene of sportsmanship, NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore approached Mahomes to give him a high-five and share a few words.

On Wednesday, the New England defensive back reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.

“If you thought you were going through the entire season and nobody was testing positive, you had some false hope,” Mahomes said later Wednesday. “Obviously with Brittany being pregnant, I do what I can to socially distance, wearing my mask and staying safe. To be available for the team but also to keep my family safe.”

Indeed, the Chiefs (4-0) are in a precarious state of midweek uncertainty.

Along with their own positive test, which has forced Jordan Ta’amu to attend team meetings remotely, the Chiefs are faced with the prospect that Gilmore may have spread COVID-19 to Mahomes and others. Gilmore played every defensive snap in the game, he twice tackled wide receiver Mecole Hardman and he was at the bottom of a scrum as he recovered a fumble.

Then there was that face-to-face chit-chat with Mahomes as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

“I think you just have to trust in the process and the protocols that are set in place,” Mahomes said. “Obviously knowing that I went to him after the game and gave him a high-five, like I have all my career and not thinking about it — it was a mental lapse, just sportsmanship. But I think the protocols are good.”

That’s not the end of the uncertainty, though. The Chiefs also are preparing to face Las Vegas on Sunday, and the Raiders were forced to put defensive tackle Maurice Hurst on the COVID-19 list — reserved for players who test positive or are in close contact to somebody who has tested positive — earlier this week.

The Chiefs also are preparing to face Las Vegas on Sunday, and the Raiders were forced to put defensive tackle Maurice Hurst on the COVID-19 list — reserved for players who test positive or are in close contact to somebody who has tested positive — earlier this week.The NFL and its players’ association already have been in contact with the Chiefs, and daily testing continues for players, coaches and staff members. But coach Andy Reid said there has been no additional contact tracing from the Patriots game, even though players wear devices that could tell whether Gilmore was within 6 feet of any players.“Listen, we take it day by day and try to do the best we possibly can at keeping ourselves as clean as we can,” Reid said, “and at the same time learning every single day. We’re all wearing masks — we’ve been doing that — or shields, whatever. We are trying to keep our noses and mouths covered the best we possibly can. But listen, just like you guys, every day is a new experience you have to work through and that’s what we’re doing.”Reid said he’s not prepared to isolate Mahomes or any individual player, but he did admit that “we have some guys doing virtual (meetings).” He also acknowledged the team is using every space possible within its practice facility, including the cafeteria and practice fields, so that they can socially distance in positional and full-squad meetings.“After our meetings,” Reid said, “it looks like an Indy 500 pit crew coming through there changing tires, cleaning up the tables and making sure everything is disinfected and cleaned up.”While the Chiefs have yet to have any additional positive tests since their game Monday night, they know that could change at any moment. And as they continue to prepare for Sunday, they are preparing for as many contingencies as possible.“You know, it’s definitely crazy right now,” Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill said. “My job is to just come in and control the things I can control. That’s my safety and that’s my teammates’ safety. That’s my coaches’ safety and my kids’ safety. I’m going to continue to do everything I can, whether that’s wearing masks in meetings, even practicing throughout the week. I’m going to continue doing the things the NFL and the Chiefs have told us to do.”NOTES: DT Chris Jones returned to practice Wednesday after missing the Patriots game with a groin injury. DE Mike Danna remained out with a hamstring injury. ... CB Bashaud Breeland practiced for the first time since finishing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. His return comes with L’Jarius Sneed recovering from a broken collarbone that the rookie cornerback sustained two weeks ago in Baltimore.
