Last season, Hester lead the League in yards per punt (13.3), number of kickoff/punt returns (63), and combined kick and punt yards (1,368 yards). Hester also broke the NFL’s return touchdown record when he returned a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown – the 20th TD return of his career -- against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football (9/18/14).

  • The Falcons first team defense ended their day with one sack, and only allowed three first downs in 21 plays run by the Jets.
