Cheifs safety Eric Berry has a serious fear of horses. This became a problem at games because the Chiefs' mascot is a real horse who trots around the field everytime Kansas City scores.

The fear was sparked when a pony bit him at a petting zoo when he was a child.

NFL Films did a segment on the Chiefs safety and his unique phobia that has caught the attention of many fans and players over the past few years.

A few funnt clips of Berry being afraid of the horse on the field surfaced last season. This one is from Buzzfeed:
