KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs anticipate Jamaal Charles will miss the remainder of the season after the star running back hurt his right knee in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to Chicago.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that results of an MRI on Charles were not yet available, but “the worst case is the ACL is torn. That’s probably the direction it’s heading.”

Charles was making a cut deep in Bears territory on Sunday when his right knee buckled at a gruesome angle. The four-time Pro Bowl selection needed help from a trainer and linebacker Justin Houston to get off the field, never once putting any weight on his right leg.

Charles tore the ACL in his other knee four years ago, missing most of the season.

The Astros could wrap up the best-of-five series with a win over the defending AL champions in Game 4 on Monday.

Luke Gregerson gave up a leadoff homer in the ninth to Alex Gordon before finishing off the Astros first playoff game in Houston in 10 years with a four-out save. It was save of more than three outs in three years.

Jason Castro drove in two runs with a single in the fifth that made it 2-1. Carlos Gomez, who has a rib muscle strain, started for the first time in the series and had an RBI single in the sixth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Jay Cutler led Chicago to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, including an alert toss to running back Matt Forte with 18 seconds left, giving the Bears a stunning 18-17 victory over Kansas City.

The 2-3 Bears trailed 17-3 early in the third quarter when Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles went down with a potentially serious knee injury. The preliminary diagnosis was a torn ACL and Charles will have an MRI exam Monday.

Cutler threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns, the first a 22-yard strike to Marquess Wilson with 3:05 left in the game. After the Bears forced a quick three-and-out, Cutler drove them inside the 10-yard line, where he spotted Forte in the end zone.

The 1-4 Chiefs tried a 66-yard field goal that came up short as time expired.

Trevone Boykin, one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 124 yards and two scores in TCU’s 52-45 win over Kansas State in Manhattan Saturday night.

The Horned Frogs had to rally from an 18 point halftime deficit to earn the victory.

Boykin told a postgame press conference his team scored early on their first couple of drives in the first half but then hit a wall. “So when we came back we really just after halftime we really just did some soul searching and just tried to find ourself and really just play football.”

Boykin noted a halftime speech by TCU head coach Gary Patterson helped. “Once he gave us that halftime speech and talked to us at halftime and  told us what we needed to do, we kind of calmed down and we played TCU football.”

For Kansas State senior quarterback Joe Hubener made his fourth career start under center. He completed 13 of 33 passes for 157 yards, and rushed for career-highs of 26 attempts for 111 yards and four touchdowns.

TCU plays at Iowa State next Saturday, while Kansas State hosts Oklahoma.
