No.16 Kansas State University defeated the University of Kansas 29-27 in the Sunflower Showdown, extending their winning streak in the rivalry to 16 consecutive victories, the longest in series history. The Wildcats remain in contention for the Big 12 championship. K-State kicker Chris Tennant made a decisive 51-yard field goal with 1:42 remaining, giving Kansas State the lead. Kansas had an opportunity to respond but was unable to capitalize, as quarterback Jalon Daniels fumbled twice in the fourth quarter and was tackled short on a crucial fourth down. This loss continues Kansas' frustration in the rivalry, as they have not beaten Kansas State since 2008.
