ATLANTA -- What a homecoming for Eric Berry.A pick-6, a pick two and a victory hell never forget.After Atlanta grabbed the lead with less than 5 minutes to go, Berry intercepted a 2-point conversion pass by Matt Ryan and returned it 99 yards to give Kansas City an improbable 29-28 triumph over the Falcons on Sunday.There were plenty of tears, to be sure.Berry grew up in suburban Atlanta and was playing in the city for the first time as a pro. His mother was in the stands at the Georgia Dome, cheering him on. But, most poignantly, this was where he returned for treatment after a mass found his chest near the end of the 2014 season turned out to be Hodgkins lymphoma .The last time I came home during the season it was to get chemotherapy, Berry said. I take pride in a lot of things that people take for granted, so when opportunities come my way I just cherish them and try to make the most of them.Boy, did he ever.In the final minute of the first half, Berry stepped in front of Ryans throw over the middle and returned that pick 37 yards for a touchdown that gave the Chiefs their first lead. After scoring, Berry found his mom -- wearing his No. 29 jersey- and delivered her the ball. She blew him back a kiss.I just handed it to her and told her Id be back, he said.Promise kept.I shed a few tears before the game, I shed a few tears during the game and I shed a few after, Berry added. It was just a lot of emotions. I tried to contain them and let it show through my play.The Falcons, rallying from a 27-16 deficit, went ahead 28-27 on 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 read it all the way , stepped in front of the tight end and took off the other way with no even close to him, providing the Chiefs with 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.Atlanta is now tied atop the NFC South with Tampa Bay.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.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 NFC South-leading 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, a 59-yarder that easily cleared the crossbar.Bryants only longer field goal was a 62-yarder with Tampa Bay in 2006. He also tied Atlantas franchise record for longest field goal, first set by Morten Andersen 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 Citys leading receiver, Jeremy Maclin, missed his fourth straight game with a groin injury.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 .

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Melanie Balcomb discovered quickly after her tenure as Vanderbilts womens basketball coach ended that she needed to get back into the game -- and fast.I found out early in the process that Im not a stay-at-home mom, said Balcomb, the 53-year-old mother of two preschoolers. I started thinking about what I could do, what I should do to stay relevant.Three months since her dismissal after 14 seasons at Vanderbilt, Balcomb joined coach Dawn Staleys program at South Carolina as an offensive, analytics consultant. The position, director of coaching offensive analytics, is for one season.Well see how it goes after that, Balcomb said Monday.Balcomb felt her relationship with Vanderbilt fading the past couple of seasons. She had led the Commodores to 12 straight NCAA Tournament appearances since taking that job in 2002-03 before missing the field the past two years. Her only three losing marks in the Southeastern Conference came the past three seasons. Balcomb did not want to get into details about her dismissal, saying only: It was time.She wasnt sure what direction to take. She wanted to be home more for 5-year-old son Quincy and 4-year-old daughter Aleya and did not want the traveling another coaching position, head or assistant, might mean with recruiting.She considered TV -- Im pretty candid about stuff, she said -- with some colleagues and friends telling Balcomb she could be the Charles Barkley of the womens game if she stepped in as a game or studio analyst.Balcomb believes there will be time for that later.Almost as soon as she lost her job, Balcomb got offers to join prrograms as a consultant.dddddddddddd Minnesota asked if shed consider consulting on defense, but that side of the game didnt excite her. It was offense where she wanted to impact the game and found a like-minded coach in Staley, who remodeled the point guard position during her Hall-of-Fame playing career.For Staley, hiring Balcomb was a no-brainer after competing against her as coaching rivals both in the Atlantic 10 coaching rivals for two years (Balcomb at Xavier, Staley at Temple) and then for the last eight seasons in the SEC.There is always room to grow professionally, Staley said.Balcomb believes that, too. She expects to grow from her time around Staley, assistants Lisa Boyer, Nikki McCray-Penson and Fred Chmiel.Balcombs new job will keep her at home during the season, something she wanted.What wont change is Balcombs instincts. She said she wont step on any toes, yet understands there will be moments shell want to frantically blow a whistle to stop practice or shout out instructions during a game when something breaks down -- and must restrain herself.Balcomb wont coach on the floor during games and is unsure if shes allowed a spot on the bench this fall. Still, shes is excited about whats ahead and seeing if her time at South Carolina can be a templet for other long-term coaches seeking to stay in the game.Everybody said `Whats next? Whats your next chapter? said Balcomb, whod like to be a head coach again. I dont think I couldve planned this better.
