It’s official: The greatest scoring returners ever have each played for the Bears.
And the Falcons.
We spend an awful lot of time talking about our terrible history of quarterbacks, and to balance it, we spend a good amount of time talking about our league-leading history of running backs and linebackers.
But when it comes to franchises with elite units, the Bears have another: returners.
In the second quarter of today’s Bears-Falcons game, ex-Bears All Pro return man Cordarrelle Patterson busted out a 103-yard kick return touchdown, the 9th of his career, setting a new NFL record for kick return touchdowns.
