KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For almost three quarters, Todd Bouman looked anything like an inexperienced quarterback whod just been signed off the street.
Finally, just as they expected, the Kansas City Chiefs had a mistake to pounce on. Derrick Johnson returned an interception for a touchdown and an eight-point lead early in the third period and the momentum suddenly belonged to KC.
Matt Cassel threw two touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs rolled to a 42-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Still, the Jaguars (3-4) trailed by only one point late in the third when Bouman, under pressure, threw an ill-advised pass right to Johnson. The linebacker made a juggling interception and ran

Then at the end of the half, cornerback Brandon Carr's pass interference penalty in the end zone set up the Jaguars for first-and-goal from the 1. But the defense held and Jacksonville had to settle for Josh Scoebe's 19-yard field goal that made it 14-13 at the half.

Due to windy conditions, the team had to utilize "floating starts", meaning the race could not successfully begin from the usual starting platforms, so the two teams had to allow their boats to float until they reached the same area of the course.

The women's rowing team competed against Kansas State this weekend at the Sunflower Showdown at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir. The team encountered windy weather that affected its overall ability to race. The Jayhawks won the Varsity Four race, and the Wildcats won the other varsity and novice races.
Because of the windy conditions, the teams had to resort to "floating
starts". This meant that the races couldn't successfully begin from the starting platforms so the two teams floated their boats until they were close to the same area of course and began to race. Because of this default all race distances and times were unofficial.
Coach Rob Catloth said he still felt that the team was on the right track.

"We feel like what we tried to accomplish today we did a good job at," Catloth said in a press release. "We're in step with where we want
Jen Meyers, Kansas novice rowing coach, said the racing experience would help the team improve.
"It was good to get our first race under our belt," Myers said in a press release. "I think we have a lot of talent and a ton of room to improve. Everything we do is a learning experience."
