Bears’ Special Teams Magic: Bears’ Dave Toub Special Punt Return for TD Leaves Fans in Awe
Earlier today, the Chicago Bears pulled off a play they first tried over twenty-three years ago against the Green Bay Packers. Way back then, the special teams coordinator was Dave Toub, and the misdirection punt return featured Devin Hester with the deke, Johnny Knox with the return, and Corey Graham with the phantom flag that negated the play.
This time, there was no bogus penalty to erase John Blackwell’s 94-yard punt return. Kudos to special teams coach Richard Hightower for dialing up the play and to DJ Moore for the good acting job on his fake catch.
