KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eric Berry lingered a little longer than the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs after pregame warmups, soaking in as much of the atmosphere of Arrowhead Stadium as he could Sunday night.
After a frustrating, disheartening 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers a few hours later, the star safety was among the last to step into the showers.
He was among the last to get dressed. He was among the last to walk out of the red-carpeted locker room and head up the concrete tunnel.
It made perfect sense.
It might be his last time doing any of it.
