ICYMI in NFL: At site of cancer treatment, KC's Berry excels (The Associated Press)

As it is, this was going to be an emotional afternoon for Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry, who grew up in suburban Atlanta and was playing at the Falcons for the first time as a pro - and, more meaningfully, the first time since he was treated for cancer in the city.

''I shed a few tears before the game. I shed a few during the game. And I shed a few after,'' Berry said. ''So I think I held it together pretty good.''

Did he ever.

Berry picked off a 2-point conversion throw and returned it 99 yards for the go-ahead score with 4 1/2 minutes left, after earlier going 37 yards with an interception for a TD, leading Kansas City to a 29-28 victory over Atlanta.
