Patrick Crayton of the Dallas Cowboys will attempt in Sunday's game against Philadelphia to become the first player in six years to have a kick return for a touchdown in three consecutive games.
Dante Hall accomplished the feat with Kansas City in 2003. On Sept. 21, he returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown against Houston. A week later, he had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Baltimore. In the following game, Hall had a 93-yard punt return for a touchdown against Denver.
Crayton had a 73-yard punt return for a score against Atlanta and an 82-yarder against Seattle in Sunday's victory. Crayton admitted that the return against Atlanta made him think of doing it again versus the Seahawks.
``It was in my mind the whole week,'' Crayton said. ``If we can get the gunners (outside coverage defenders) taken care of, we've got the potential to average 10 to 15 yards. Everyrthing else after that is sugar on top.''

Patrick Crayton does it again
Patrick Crayton muffed a punt and fumbled a reverse.
But he added his second punt return for a touchdown in as many weeks, taking a Jon Ryan punt back 82 yards for a touchdown.
So good was the blocking that the only time Crayton was touched was when he stiff-armed Ryan at midfield.
This came after he had a 23-yard punt return that helped set up the Miles Austin touchdown that made it 28-10.
