Eric Berry shines in emotional return to Atlanta

Drew Bledsoe told the crowd: “We are all so proud to be a part of the team that started this tradition of championships in New England”.

To say Berry has been great this year would be the understatement of the century.

The Kansas City Chiefs knew they’d have to pull out all the stops to take down the Falcons in Atlanta. You’re smart not to take Smith in the first round of your fantasy draft, and there’s no doubt he doesn’t care. If the Chiefs’ linebackers can continually maintain their gap integrity, especially on the backside of the Falcons’ zone running plays, it will give them an opportunity to harass Ryan on play-action boots.

If Jones continues improving at this pace, the Chiefs might need to make room on the ring of honor.

Atlanta travels to Los Angeles to play the Rams next Sunday. He hit on 21 of his 25 attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown, with Travis Kelce relentlessly finding himself open in the middle of the field. On the ground, Devonta Freeman rushed for 60 yards in 16 carries.

Kansas City’s defense wasn’t exactly dominant.

After Berry’s play, Chiefs got the ball back and ran the clock out to win.

The Falcons (7-5), now tied with Tampa Bay for the NFC South lead, took a 28-27 lead on Ryan’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson with 4:32 remaining.

“There were a lot of emotions so I just tried to contain them and let it show through my play”, Berry said.

Playing just a short drive away from his birthplace of Fairburn, Ga., the Chiefs safety scored eight points in the game.

After Eric Berry returned an interception for a touchdown late in the first half, he delivered the ball to his mom in the stands.

The Chiefs discipline improved in the second quarter, but eight penalties for 95 yards in the first half almost spelled disaster.

The NFL’s Twitter feed captured Wilson’s score, as he went to the house basically untouched.

The 2015 NFL Comeback Player of the Year seemingly has done it all in the NFL, including two All-Pro selections. Berry then jumped the route on a late two-point conversion, returning it for two points and the difference in a back-and-forth game.
