ATLANTA -- After Eric Berry returned an interception for a touchdown late in the first half, he delivered the ball to his mom in the stands.When Berry lined up to defend a 2-point conversion late in the game, he remembered some advice from his father, who played running back for the University of Tennessee.My dad always told me the most important point of the game is the extra point, Berry said. A lot of people take that play off. Its an opportunity to make something happen and Im going to make the most of it.Berry stepped in to intercept Matt Ryans pass and didnt stop running until he reached the end zone at the other end of the field, a 99-yard return that gave the Kansas City Chiefs two points and a 29-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.Eric is the heart and soul of this team, quarterback Alex Smith said. The embodiment of what were about, and thats selflessness and hard work, giving it up for the guy next to you. Thats all Eric talks about and its real. Its sincere. Theres no phoniness about it. Its from the heart.Berry certainly approaches the game with a different mindset than most players.Toward the end of the 2014 season, he began experiencing chest pain. A mass was found. In early December, he got the scary diagnosis: Hodgkins lymphoma.Berry, who grew up in suburban Atlanta, returned to the city for treatment that helped him beat the disease. That was not lost on him as he took the field at the Georgia Dome, playing in Atlanta for the first time in his pro career.He shed plenty of tears -- and stole the show.The pick six came with 37 seconds remaining in the first half of a 13-13 game. Matt Ryan looked to connect with Taylor Gabriel over the middle, but Berry read it all the way. He stepped in front of the pass, spun away from would-be tackler Devonta Freeman and tip-toed down the sideline, managing to stay in bounds before one last long stride into the end zone.I was just reading my keys, Berry said. A lot of film study.He found his mom in the stands -- wearing his No. 29 jersey -- and made sure she got the ball.I just knew I was going to do it. I made up my mind before the game, Berry said. It wont amount to the things shes given me, and my dad too. So many nights I was just crying on their shoulder and trying to make sense of everything that was going on. They told me to keep pressing, keep pressing. Youll be back and be able to play the game the way you want to play the game.The Chiefs (9-3) stretched their lead to 27-16 before the Falcons rallied. Freeman scored on a 1-yard run with just under 12 minutes remaining. A 2-point try failed, but Atlanta got the ball back. Ryan scrambled for a key first down to keep the drive alive, and then hooked up with Aldrick Robinson on a 5-yard TD pass.Now leading 28-27, the Falcons understandably went for 2 again, looking to extend their margin to a field goal. Berry couldve gotten down after his team surrendered the go-ahead touchdown; instead, he buckled down.Ryan never saw the safety.Ive played for a long time, made a lot of really good plays and made some poor plays, Ryan said. That wasnt one of my best.For Berry, it couldnt have been any better.He wasnt alone, either.Former Georgia State receiver Albert Wilson, who played his college ball in this same stadium, had a 55-yard touchdown on a fake punt for the Chiefs. Former Georgia star Justin Houston had a sack. Another ex-Bulldog, Ramik Wilson, tied for the team lead with nine tackles.It was great to see our whole contingency from Georgia and from Atlanta come back home and make plays, Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. No one more than 29 did today. He was phenomenal.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The European Tour announced on Tuesday that it will group at least seven of its marquee events together as the Rolex Series and will be scrapping the Final Series format beginning with the 2017 season.The BMW PGA Championship, the Irish Open, the Scottish Open and the Italian Open will join the three Final Series events -- the Turkish Airlines Open, the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship -- as part of the new schedule.The Race to Dubai, formerly known as the Order of Merit, will be retained. Each of the seven events will have a prize purse of at least $7 million.The cash-rich events are part of European Tour chief executive Keith Pelleys plans to have tournaments in Europe that can compete with the prize funds available on the PGA Tour. He believes they will prevent young European players from moving to the U.S., as well as attract PGA Tour stars to play in Europe.Pelley, speaking ahead of this weeks DP World Tour Championship, said that eight or nine events could end up as part of the Rolex Seriees next season and that its his goal to increase that number to 10 tournaments in 2018.ddddddddddddHe also said that the $7 million minimum is the threshold that we felt that was needed to produce something of a high quality for the series. Investments by the Tour in its television and digital productions and the pursuit of additional marketing and sponsorship opportunities are also part of the plan.Pelley said the Tour and Rolex will subsidize tournaments such as the Irish Open and Scottish Open to allow them to distribute at least $7 million to players.The Tour will also start the Access List, which will be a separate money list that will not include earnings from the Rolex Series, the Masters, the PGA Championship or the four World Golf Championships. The top three players on that list will be invited to play in Rolex Series events, and the top 10 finishers will be eligible for full European Tour membership for the following season. ' ' '
