Chicago Bears' Devin Hester (23) breaks away from Minnesota Vikings' Chad Greenway (52) for a 64-yard touchdown on a punt return during the second half of an NFL football game Monday in Minneapolis. The return was Hester's NFL-leading 14th career return for a touchdown. The game was played at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium because of damage to the Metrodome roof.

The Bears went on to win 40-14.
