Chiefs safety Eric Berry’s game-turning play in last Sunday’s victory at Carolina helped earn him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Berry picked off an underthrown Cam Newton pass and returned it for a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 20-17 victory.
The Chiefs’ lone touchdown plus a two-point conversion cut the deficit to 17-14 and changed the game’s momentum.
Berry’s return included two spin moves which helped him move across the field and beat Newton and other tacklers to the pylon.
It was Berry’s second interception of the season and the fourth defensive touchdown in his career.
