Packers Vs. Bears: Devin Hester Return Sets Up Bears First Score

Devin Hester may have suffered the shame of being tackled by Packers punter Tim Masthay in the open field, but Hester’s 28-yard punt return helped Chicago get on the scoreboard for the first time in their Monday night game against the Packers.

On the following play, Jay Cutler hit Johnny Knox along the left sideline for a 31-yard gain. Three plays later, Cutler connected with tight end Greg Olsen for a nine-yard touchdown. The Packers tried to respond with a Hail Mary, but it was tipped and intercepted by Lance Briggs.

So, in a half where it seemed like the Bears repeatedly tried to torpedo a win with careless mistakes, they find themselves down only a field goal entering the second half.
