Chiefs wear shirts in support of Eric Berry

Several Kansas City Chiefs players decided to wear T-shirts honoring teammate Eric Berry for the teams game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.

Berry was found last week to have a mass in his chest that the teams medical staff believes is lymphoma. He wanted to play in the Week 13 game, but the team would not allow it for obvious reasons.

Chiefs players made sure Berry was in their thoughts Sunday night by wearing T-shirts that said, Be Bold Be Brave Be Berry, on them.

Here you can see long snapper Thomas Gafford in one of the shirts:

The team also went with their red on red look because of Berry:
