The Kansas City Chiefs clung on for a 29-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons in a thrilling contest at the Georgia Dome.
Eric Berry intercepted Matt Ryan twice, returning one for a touchdown, and the other for a safety - off a failed two-point attempt - that proved to be the game-winning score.
Ryan did at least extend his NFL-record streak of consecutive 200-yard games to 51 after his 297-yard effort, but his Falcons (7-5) fall to a fifth defeat on the year, while Chiefs move to 9-3.
In 140 Characters...
Eric Berry led an inspired defensive and special teams performance from the Chiefs to see them beat the Falcons; sealed with a safety.
MVP
Berry. Not only did his safety win the game, but he also earlier returned an interception for a touchdown, too. All this coming in his first game in his hometown of Atlanta, and two years to the day almost after being diagnosed with cancer.
Game-changer
You could make the case for a few game-changing moments, including the two provided by Berry, but Albert Wilson's 55-yard touchdown off a fake punt early in the second half was indicative of a brave Kansas City team who made bold calls throughout the contest.
Stat of the night
Six - non-offensive touchdowns now for the season for the Chiefs - tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the most in the NFL - after Berry's pick-six.
The game
The game exploded into life with two near-perfect opening drives by both offences - Julio Jones (113 yards) and Travis Kelce (140 yards) picking up big pass plays, allowing for Devonta Freeman and Spencer Ware to run in near the goal line.
Kansas City couldn't convert their extra point attempt though, with Cairo Santos' kick blocked, and so failed to tie the contest.
Atlanta extended their lead further with two Matt Bryant field goals, one off an Alex Smith fumble, but the Chiefs did finally tie the game when Ware earned a second score off a gutsy fourth-and-one call near the Falcons goal line.
The first half ended with further drama as Berry returned a pick-six 37 yards, though the Falcons reduced the deficit as Bryant nailed a field goal from 59 yards as time expired.
Some special teams brilliance saw the Chiefs extend their lead, with Wilson bursting through for a 55-yard touchdown on a fake punt.
But two fourth-quarter touchdowns for Atlanta - Freeman with a second, and Ryan finding Aldrick Robinson - had the home side back out in front, though not for long.
The Falcons went for two to try to extend their lead to three, but Berry again picked off Ryan and ran it back 99 yards for a safety and the game-winning two points.
