Derrick Nnadi Says Kansas City Chiefs 'Completely Different' with Eric Berry

The Kansas City Chiefs are "completely different" defensively with Eric Berry in the lineup, according to nose tackle Derrick Nnadi.

Rookie Nnadi talked up Berry amid reports the talented but oft-injured safety will be healthy enough to play against the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium:

Chiefs DT Derrick Nnadi said he expects Eric Berry (heel) to play Sunday. And added, when Eric is on the field it’s a completely different defense. Not the first player I’ve heard that second part from.

Berry is in line to give an inconsistent Chiefs defense a major boost after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Good Morning Football the 30-year-old could be ready to return for the Pats' visit:
