In the [[Super Bowl]] loss to the [[Indianapolis Colts]], Devin Hester took the opening kickoff back 92 yards to open to game up 7-0 for the Bears. After his dynamic return, All-Pro kicker [[Adam Vinatieri]] opted to squib kick for the rest of the game away from Hester. Hester also returned a punt for three yards, but juked out two defenders on the way. The other three punts to Hester were called for fair catch. Although Hester helped the Bears gain the early momentum, the Colts won the game 29-17.
