Eric Berry’s remarkable recovery punctuates Chiefs win

Kelce on the other hand, will be a big target on 3rd downs, where Kansas City has struggled as of late. increasing possessions and scoring points is more important now than ever, as the Atlanta offense is liable to put up 35 points to win the game.

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. But by then, the tone of the game had been established; if the Chiefs could keep moving the football while forcing the Falcons to settle for field goals, they would win.

The Falcons are now tied for first in the NFC South with the aforementioned Buccaneers, whom we’d all left for dead a month ago. The Falcons travel to the West Coast for the third time to play the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. “That’s part of being a professional”. If you want to produce on good offense, get these guys the football. We have got to be prepared and ready to play. The Chiefs initially appeared ready to go for it, but the Falcons called timeout.

Berry, the former Atlanta-area high school standout, returned an interception for a touchdown and ran back a pick on a two-point conversion attempt for the decisive points in the 29-28 victory.

With a strip-sack on Alex Smith in the first quarterback, Beasley became the first Falcon to reach double-digit sacks since John Abraham in 2012. Safety Eric Berry had an incredible performance and helped contribute by adding eight points to the Chiefs’ score. Ultimately, that was a tough one. “There’s a lot of opportunities out there that we had that we didn’t execute on, especially me personally”. “There were a lot of emotions, but I tried to contain them and let everything show through my play”.

Rivers had the Chargers on the move in the final minutes before Tandy got in front of a pass to Dontrelle Inman and picked it off. Tandys momentum carried him into the end zone, giving the Bucs the ball on their 20. “I made the mistake there”. First, he managed a fourth-quarter interception and returned it for a 37-yard touchdown. Julio Jones was dominant to start the game but was on the sideline dealing with a lower leg injury down the stretch.

“I had a sense it would come down to the end, and it did”, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “And I know those are correctable and fixable”.

AS FOR THE FALCONS: Sometimes the right thing to do also is the only thing to do. The ball was returned 100 yards by Berry for a Chiefs’ two-point score (watch here).

As much as people gripe about Alex Smith (and he’s deserved it this season), he was on fire on Sunday against the bad Falcons defense. Last week it was the Chiefs capitalizing off a missed 62 yard field goal and then banking in their own game victor as overtime expired.

“They did a good job in the tight red zone, and really, inside the 10”, Ryan said. The game-winner was a 12-yard pass from Jameis Winston to tight end Cameron Brate. When it comes to the playoffs, there won’t be time to reset.
