Devin Hester Sets NFL Record With Fifth and Sixth Returns for TDs As Bears Beat Rams 42-27

<snip>

"Devin Hester expects teams to keep on kicking deep to him. And he expects to keep right on returning those kicks to the end zone. The high-stepping rookie got the Rams' home dome rocking with chants of "Let's Go Bears!" as he set an NFL record with his fifth and sixth returns for touchdowns this season, a 94-yard kickoff runback in the second quarter and a 96-yarder in the final period Monday night. That sparked a 42-27 victory that gave the NFC North champions (11-2) a bye for the first week of the playoffs.

"It's the NFL and a team is not going to bow down to one player," Hester said. "They'll continue to kick to me."

They're fools if they do.

"It's like the gates of Heaven opening up for me," he added.

A second-round draft pick, Hester also has three punt return touchdowns and ran back a missed field goal 108 yards against the Giants to tie the longest play in NFL history. But he'd returned only six kickoffs all year before his historic romps that made the thousands of fans who trekked from Chicago rise from their seats."

1. When Devin was with Miami

I said he was the best return specialist that I've ever seen. That includes some heavy hitters that have returned punts and kickoffs... Santana Moss, Tremain Mack, etc.

I guess I was right.
