The fans have waited for the moment. His teammates and coaches have waited for this moment. Eric Berry himself has been anticipating this moment. And now all of Chiefs Kingdom will celebrate on Thursday night as the team’s defensive heart and star safety will make his first start since Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season.
Ian Rapoport has the word that Berry will indeed start on Thursday for the Chiefs against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers in an all-important showdown for AFC West supremacy. The Chiefs hold the edge in a number of ways, but the Chargers have kept pace with the AFC’s best overall team and now have a chance for revenge on the road in a game that could be very important for home field advantage and a first-round postseason bye.
