Devin Hester Breaks Deion Sanders Record


Devin Hester has done one thing – return kicks – better than anyone in NFL history. He cleared up any doubt about that on Thursday night. In the second quarter, Hester weaved through the Buccaneers' special teams on a punt return and got into the open field. He beat the punter and strolled into the end zone for the 20th return touchdown of his career, breaking Deion Sanders' record of 19.He broke Deion's record in Deion's house and Deion's town, while doing Deion's dance as he strolled into the end zone to give the Falcons a 35-0 lead over the Buccaneers in what's turning out to be an ugly Thursday night for Tampa Bay.Head coach Mike Smith didn't seem too upset that Hester was flagged for high-stepping, based off this exchange they had on the sideline.The 31-year-old also became the first player in NFL history to score on a punt return and a rushing play and to force a fumble and recover a fumble in the same game. The three-time Pro Bowler, Hester signed with the Falcons in the offseason after playing for the Bears from 2007-2012.
