Dallas Cowboys' Crayton closing in on elite company

The Dallas Cowboys' Patrick Crayton has returned punts for touchdowns each of the last two games, tying the franchise record for punt returns for scores in a single season. The NFL record is four, shared by Jack Christensen (Detroit, 1951), Rich Upchurch (Denver, 1976) and Devin Hester (Chicago, 2007). Crayton's two returns were of 73 yards against Atlanta and 82 against Seattle. If he runs another back this season, he'll join an exclusive group of just four other players this decade with three such scores (yardage of returns in parenthesis): Devin Hester, Chi: 4 returns in 2007 (73, 89, 75, 64) Adam Jones, Tenn: 3 returns in 200 (81, 90, 53) Devin Hester, Chi; 3 returns in 2006 (84, 83, 45) Reggie Bush, NO: 3 returns in 2008 (55, 71, 64) Johnnie Lee Higgins, Oak: 3 returns in 2008 (80, 89, 93) For more on the rest of the NFL, check out the NFL blog.
