The Chicago Bears executed the best special teams play of the season. Unfortunately for the Bears, a holding penalty negated what would have been a fourth quarter touchdown.
On a fourth quarter Green Bay Packers punt, Bears returner Devon Hester faked a fair catch in the middle of the field. The Packers raced down the field towards Hester, but never noticed that the punt was actually headed on an angle towards the sideline. Chicago Bears receiver Johnny Knox, who was originally lined up wide to help block Green Bay's Jarrett Bush, ended up fielding the punt near the sideline with no Packers near him. By the time the Packers realized what was going on, Knox was on his way to the end zone for an 89 yard touchdown.
Unfortunately for the Bears, the touchdown did not count as the play was called back because of a holding penalty on cornerback Corey Graham, so Knox's efforts were all for naught.
