Devin Hester Returns Punt for TD vs. Redskins, His First Since 2011
By Mike Cardillo
Devin Hester did Devin Hester things Sunday vs. the Redskins, returning a Sav Rocca punt for a touchdown. It’s his NFL all-time best 13th punt return for a score.
It’s also Hester’s 19th total return for a touchdown in his career, although it’s his first of any kind since 2011. It also moves him closer to a new NFL record:
19 career return TD for Devin Hester, tied with Deion Sanders for the most in @nfl history

Sanders record includes interception and fumble returns.
The Bears are going to need the points if Jay Cutler is unable to play in the second half. The Washington special teams unit, meanwhile, remains a disaster.
