KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs’ stunning 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts was special in all the wrong ways. There was the fumbled punt that led to a touchdown. The near-fumble that backed them up to their own goal line. The missed field goal and missed extra point. The head-scratching decision to try a fake field goal rather than put the ball in the hands of one of the league’s best quarterbacks. And lousy kick returns that led to more poor field position. To put it bluntly: The Chiefs’ special teams were an abject disaster in their loss on Sunday in Indianapolis.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will relocate football operations to the Miami area in preparation for next weekend’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the potential impact of Hurricane Ian on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The Buccaneers are expected to practice at the Miami Dolphins’ training complex in Miami Gardens, Florida, starting on Wednesday and continue through this week’s preparations, if necessary.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey is not going to apologize for the passion he has for football and for his players battling in the 90-plus degree South Florida heat. He can, however, appreciate a need to contain his emotions after a video clip showed his volatile eruption in the visitors’ coaches booth following Buffalo's 21-19 loss to Miami on Sunday. Dorsey was shown ripping off his headset and violently bouncing it off the table before trashing his game notes in a 7-second clip captured by CBS. Dorsey says everyone's human, before adding he's going to learn from what happened.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett remains under hospital care after being involved in a one-car accident following practice. The team says Garrett did not suffer life-threatening injuries but provided no further details on his condition. His agent said Garrett has remained alert and responsive while getting medical attention. The Ohio State Highway Patrol says it responded to a rollover crash around 3 p.m. Troopers found a gray Porsche 911 Turbo S on the right side of the road with rollover damage. The highway patrol said Garrett and a unidentified female passenger were both transported to a hospital. The crash is still under investigation. Garrett was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

DENVER (AP) — Russell Wilson endured a career-worst nine three-and-outs Sunday night but he rallied the Denver Broncos past the San Francisco 49ers 11-10. Wilson was the only one of the so-called Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks in the AFC West to prevail in Week 3. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Indianapolis Colts 20-17. Ailing Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers were blown out at home 38-10 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. And Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders came up short in a 24-22 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos visit the Raiders next week.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech was fined $50,000 and reprimanded by the Big 12 Conference because fans stormed the field following an overtime victory against rival Texas. A video of the celebration shows one of those fans shoving a Longhorns player. Texas Tech posted on social media a still shot from the video asking for help in identifying that fan. Texas senior edge rusher Ovie Oghoufo was shoved from behind by one fan running onto the field Saturday after the Red Raiders won 37-34. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says Oghoufo showed great poise and composure in what could have turned into an ugly situation.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The University of Oklahoma dedicated a statue honoring the Selmon brothers — defensive linemen Lucious, Dewey and Lee Roy. The trio starred for Oklahoma from 1971 through 1975 and helped the Sooners compile a 54-3-1 record with national championships in 1974 and 1975 and four Big Eight titles. The brothers combined for 96 career starts, 915 tackles, 96 tackles for loss and 16 fumble recoveries at Oklahoma. All three started on the defensive line in 1973. Lucious and Dewey were present, but Lee Roy passed away in 2011. Family members helped pull the cover off the statue.
TORONTO (AP) — Aaron Judge stayed at 60 home runs, one shy of Roger Maris’ American League record, and the New York Yankees’ bid to clinch the AL East stalled when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit an RBI single in the 10th to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 win. Judge led off the game with a single, then struck out twice and walked twice as New York’s winning streak ended at seven. Judge has now gone six games without a home run. He’ll try again Tuesday night to match the AL mark of 61 set by Maris in 1961. Judge began the day leading all three Triple Crown categories. Toronto won its third straight and increased its lead atop the AL wild-card race by 2 1/2 games over Tampa Bay.
