Eric Berry honored at Tennessee game; brother runs back kick for TD
Tennessee welcomed back one of its all-time great defenders Saturday as Eric Berry returned to Knoxville to take in the game against Western Carolina. Because Berry's Kansas City Chiefs played Thursday, he was able to visit with his twin brothers, Evan and Elliot, and attend their latest game.
During the first quarter, Tennessee honored the elder Berry for his triumphant return to the field this season after he was forced to sit out the 2014 NFL season to battle Hodgkin's lymphoma:
