ATLANTA -- Cordarrelle Patterson may have the NFL’s all-time kick return touchdown record with nine, but he isn’t sitting back and letting someone potentially catch him.
No, Patterson said, as long as the Atlanta Falcons coaches continue to let him return kicks he’s going to do so. Because now, it’s about creating distance.
“I need to get to 10,” Patterson said Tuesday. “I need to just try to separate myself from a lot of people.”
Patterson broke the mark against the Chicago Bears -- one of the teams he played with in the past -- last season, snapping a tie with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington at eight.
