With more than two full seasons since returning a punt for a touchdown, Devin Hester of the Bears exploded for 62 yards on the second play of the fourth quarter, catapulting Chicago to a 14-10 lead over the Packers.
The touchdown erased a 10-0 hole into which the Bears had fallen, and it came after tight end Desmond Clark dropped what would have been a one-yard touchdown pass on fourth and goal.
Hester hadn’t returned a punt for a touchdown since the last game of the 2007 season. An earlier punt return from Hester helped set up the first touchdown of the night.
