“The last time I came home during the season it was to get chemotherapy,” said Berry, who handed his touchdown ball to his mother in the stands.

“This time it was to play a game, so I was thankful for the opportunity. I take pride in a lot of things people take for granted. I cherish everything that comes my way.”
