ATLANTA -- Eric Berry returned an interception for a touchdown, and then brought back another pick for a 2-point conversion that gave the Kansas City Chiefs an improbable 29-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.The Falcons, rallying from a 27-16 deficit, went ahead 28-27 on Matt Ryans 5-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson with 4:32 remaining.Atlanta decided to go for 2, looking to stretch the margin to a field goal. But Berry stepped in front of Ryans pass and ran 99 yards the other way to give the Chiefs (9-3) their winning margin. It came after Denver stole a game in similar fashion last month, returning a blocked PAT for the winning points at New Orleans.Sundays outcome meant even more to Berry, who grew up in suburban Atlanta and was playing in the city for the first time as a professional. Also, its where he was treated after being diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma near the end of the 2014 season.I shed a few tears before the game, I shed a few tears during the game and I shed a few after, Berry said. It was just a lot of emotions. I tried to contain them and let it show through my play.Ryan was clearly down after the game, knowing this was one that got away from the Falcons (7-5).A poor play on my part, the quarterback said. I was expecting combination coverage to the outside. Eric Berry did good job coming down off and going onto the tight end. A disappointing play.Berry had another huge play with less than a minute to go in the first half, picking off Ryans pass over the middle and bringing it back 37 yards for a touchdown. After reaching the end zone, he handed the ball to his mother sitting in the stands at the Georgia Dome.I just handed it to her and told her Id be back. Berry quipped.He fulfilled that promise.Those werent the only backbreaking plays given up by the Falcons. On fourth-and-2 from their own 45, Kansas City faked a punt and snapped the ball directly to Albert Wilson , who played his college ball in the same stadium for Georgia State. Wilson burst up the middle for a 55-yard touchdown that extended Kansas Citys lead in the third quarter.I had a sense it would come down to the end, and it did, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. But I reminded the team that it never comes down to one play.Alex Smith completed 21 of 25 passes for 270 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown to Spencer Ware. Travis Kelce was Kansas Citys top receiver, hauling in eight passes for 140 yards.Ryan was 22 of 34 for 297 yards, but his two huge mistakes doomed the Falcons. Julio Jones hauled in seven passes for 113 yards, while Devonta Freeman had a couple of 1-yard touchdown runs.LONG KICKForty-one-year-old Matt Bryant closed out the first half with the second-longest field goal of his career for the Falcons.Barely across midfield, Bryant booted a 59-yarder that easily clear the crossbar, cutting Kansas Citys lead to 20-16 at the break. The only longer kick for Bryant was a 62-yarder with Tampa Bay in 2006.He also tied Atlantas franchise record for longest field goal. Morten Andersen made a 59-yarder in 1995.INJURY REPORTThe Falcons lost left tackle Jake Matthews to a left knee injury in the first half.Trainers put a sleeve over the knee, and Matthews tested it out on the sideline with some runs and cuts. But he headed to the locker room just before halftime and didnt return. Tom Compton finished out the game protecting Ryans blind side.Kansas City was again missing Jeremy Maclin, its leading receiver. He returned to practice Wednesday and it was thought hed be able to play after sitting out three straight games with a groin injury. But he didnt dress against the Falcons.UP NEXTChiefs: Return home for a huge Thursday night game against AFC West rival Oakland, the first of three straight games at Arrowhead Stadium before the season finale at San Diego.Falcons: Travel to Los Angeles next Sunday to take on the Rams.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs added one more assignment to his long list of responsibilities.The face of Tennessees program also has become the voice of its offense. Coaches and teammates say theyve noticed a difference in him this year in that regard. He doesnt hesitate to let the entire offense know when something needs to be corrected or when someones done something well.Hes definitely more vocal, senior guard Dylan Wiesman said. He stands up and hell get on guys and call them out. That has definitely improved. That is whats making him a better leader.Dobbs, whose 22 career starts lead all active Southeastern Conference quarterbacks, downplays the changes in his leadership approach. The senior said he has always tried to lead ever since taking over the starting spot for good late in the 2014 season.But he acknowledges he has made a few tweaks to his leadership style.Im just being myself, pushing my teammates, holding them to a higher standard, Dobbs said. Ive always held them to a high standard and have said things when needed, but this year its just holding them to an even higher standard than I have in the past. Im glad theyre seeing that and theyre responding to it well.No. 9 Tennessee has its highest preseason ranking since 2005 as it heads into Thursdays opener with Appalachian State. Tennessee is seeking its first conference title since its 1998 national championship.Dobbs is making sure the Volunteers understand whats at stake.If were not executing, hell let us know, junior wide receiver Josh Malone said. If in a certain period of practice were not executing, well start that whole entire period over and make sure were executing that period of practice.Dobbs willingness to face challenges on and off the field explains why Tennessee coach Butch Jones says that when you look at the definition of a student-athlete, it starts with Josh Dobbs.Dobbs has rushed for 1,160 yards and 19 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He threw for 2,,291 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2015.ddddddddddddHis classroom performance is also impressive. Dobbs majors in aerospace engineering and made the SEC Academic Honor Roll last each of the last two years.Dobbs wants to design airplanes when hes done playing football and has spent portions of the last two summers performing internships for Pratt & Whitney. His latest internship took place in Montreal, and Dobbs said it gave him an opportunity to test out the French he had learned in high school.I could hear it well, Dobbs said. But speaking it, I was a little rusty.Malone decided to sit in on one of Dobbs engineering classes last summer before they started a workout. Malone said the experience left his mind blown.Im just more fascinated he can handle that challenge and still perform on the field, Malone said.Dobbs latest assignment is to improve his passing accuracy. Dobbs threw just five interceptions last season but he completed only 59.6 percent of his passes, down from 63.3 percent in 2014. He has talked about trying to get his completion percentage up to 65 or even 70 percent.Offensive coordinator Mike DeBord says Dobbs still performed well enough that Tennessee ranked second in the SEC in third-down efficiency last season, but he added that the seniors accuracy has really improved this summer.DeBord also described the change in the way Dobbs is communicating with teammates and really taking control of the offense.He knows all of us, he knows how to work with all of us and knows how to talk to all of us, which is a pretty important part of being a leader, Wiesman said. You have to know how to talk to your guys. He has that connection with all of us.Just him getting closer with everybody has allowed him to be a great leader because he knows how to talk to us, how to motivate us.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
