The Harvard football team beat Yale, 45-27, at Fenway Park on Saturday, running away with the 135th meeting between the schools.

“It was a little more than we ever could have expected to play this game that means so much to us at Fenway,” Harvard offensive lineman Ben Shoults said.

This was the highest-scoring game ever between the two teams. Yale had beaten Harvard in back-to-back years, but the Crimson have now won 15 of the last 18 matchups.

The Kansas City Chiefs have made a habit of inciting controversy during the NFL draft in the Andy Reid era by acquiring players that have a history of off-the-field issues. The team took a chance on cornerback Marcus Peters, who was traded away after getting into trouble with coaches. It drafted running back Kareem Hunt, then quickly cut him when he kicked a woman in a hotel hallway. And it picked wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is currently dealing with a domestic violence case that centers on the 3-year-old child he shares with his fiance.(AP Photo/Kelvin Kuo, File)
