Bears WR Jakeem Grant goes 97 yards for first punt return touchdown in NFL this season



9:24 PM

Jakeem Grant is a fan of the left sideline.

Grant returned a punt 97 yards for a touchdown after the two-minute warning in the first half, the longest punt return touchdown in the history of the game.

It took 14 weeks for the first punt return for a touchdown in the National Football League. Grant caught the ball at the 5-yard line and felt the Packers closing in on him, so he ran down the sideline into the end zone.

Grant has returned punts for scores in the past. The play gave Chicago the lead.

97 yards to the house is what the ProBowlVote says.

The Chicago Bears will play on December 13, 2021.

Two games with pick-sixes.

For the second game in a row, Green Bay Packers' defensive back Rasul Douglas returned an interception for a touchdown. He picked off a pass that was thrown too far inside and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown to give the Packers a 14-10 second-quarter lead.

Douglas picked off Stafford and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown in the Packers last game before the bye.

The Packers have not had multiple pick-sixes in a season since 2015, and Douglas has them both.

The same player who won the Arizona game with a walk-off pick in the end zone just weeks after the Packers plucked him off the practice squad is now Douglas.

Jakeem Grant gave the Bears their first touchdown of the night when he ran after the ball.

The 46-yard touchdown pass by Fields was a well-executed jet sweep by Grant that he pulled off on Chicago's third offensive drive.

Grant reached a maximum speed of 20.86 miles per hour when the Bears sent five lead blockers to the left of the line of scrimmage.

Grant tip-toed down the sideline once he reached the end zone and was narrowly able to stay in bounds to score. The touchdown gave the Bears a big lead over the Packers.

Grant has received the play for the longest time. He gained 50 yards after the catch, tying for the most after the catch in his career.

JAKEEM THE DREAM.
