Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears' finally set the NFL record for combined return touchdowns when he scored the return on 64-yard punt in the third quarter against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday at the TCF Bank Stadium.
After entering the competition, only one NFL record touchdown return 'so Brian Mitchell, notched Hester is another "almost" guests to their documents, when the opening kickoff of the second half of the field of 15 and zipper field for 79 yards only to be taken by Heath Farwell 6-yard line to the Vikings'.
The return on Robbie Gould's second field goal of the night.
Hester made up for the lost opportunity for the next opportunity to run 64 meters, the home team sideline for the score.
Hester tied the record with a 89-yard punt return in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks, but now moves into sole possession again with 14 touchdowns.
Hester broke the record in 73 games, while Mitchell scored 13 touchdowns in 223 games back.
Hester has returned 10 punts and four kickoffs for TDS. His 108-yard return of a missed field goal in 2006 and kicked a touchdown in the Super Bowl is not the 2007 total.
With 10 punt returns for touchdowns to Eric Metcalf Hester is tied for most in NFL history.
