Hug between Steelers' James Conner, Chiefs' Eric Berry has deeper meaning

PITTSBURGH -- James Conner was catching up with an old friend when he hugged Eric Berry after last week's game, but he also appreciates the deeper meaning behind the embrace: Two cancer survivors celebrating another NFL Sunday together.

The embrace between the Steelers running back and Chiefs safety went viral Kansas City's 42-37 win inside Heinz Field.

"We're just happy we're in the position we're in, to be able to inspire others and we're both thankful to continue playing the game we love," Conner said.
