All Eyes on Devin Hester
By Cindy Ferguson
Chicago Bears rookie Devin Hester implemented a new NFL record with his fifth and sixth returns for touchdowns in what goes for this season.
On Monday night’s game he returned two kickoffs that led to two touchdowns and a victory of 42-27 for the Bears over the St. Louis Rams in the Edward Jones Dome.
The 24 year old was this year’s second round draft pick for the team and he signed a four-year contract with the Bears back in July. This is his first season as a professional and not only is he a young and fresh player to the sport, but also Hester is very talented. It is somewhat difficult to achieve a new record in your rookie season and help your team win an away game against a team that has won three out of four home games.
What could soon be another accomplishment for the player would be winning this week’s vote for the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week being that he has been nominated after last night’s game.
The Chicago Bears have only lost two games, out of thirteen so far and currently rank first in the NFC North along with already clinching the division title.
