Found November 27, 2011 on Inside the Bears:
PLAYERS: Devin Hester,  Robbie Gould,  Johnny Knox
TEAMS: Chicago Bears

OAKLAND, Calif. — It’s not often argued that the Bears lost the special-teams battle, but there was no dispute after their 25-20 loss Sunday, not even from within their locker room. The Raiders owned the third phase. “They beat us on special teams,” returner Devin Hester said. “They overpowered us. There’s no other way to put it than that.” The Bears had their moments. Robbie Gould kicked 50- and 53-yard field goals in the fourth quarter to keep the game close. His onside kick in the final minutes was nearly recovered by his teammates. Johnny Knox had a 56-yard kickoff …

Johnny Knox is suddenly red hot for the Chicago Bears

Via Bears Locker  |  November 29, 2011
The Bears seem to always be changing game plans as they never seem to have a true #1 WR.  25-year old Johnny Knox has been playing like a #1 WR the last two weeks for the Bears.  In his last two games, Knox has caught 7 passes for 242 yards (34.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs for the Bears.  He has now played in 11 games for the Bears this year and he has caught 28 passes for 622 yards...

Chris Massey isn’t a star like Devin Hester, but his role will be crucial

Via Inside the Bears  |  November 25, 2011
Devin Hester and Chris Massey are on opposite ends of the spectrum as special-teams players for the Bears. Hester is the greatest kick returner in NFL history. Massey is a typically anonymous long snapper who nobody in Chicago had ever heard of before he signed with the Bears on Thursday, even though he has played nine seasons in the NFL. But Hester and Massey will be focal points...

Raiders P Shane Lechler Unlikely To Challenge Bears KR Devin Hester

Via GridironFans.com  |  November 26, 2011
In a bit of gamesmanship, Lovie Smith, who has the luxury that is Devin Hester, recently extolled the virtues of kicking to punt returners. Smith's efforts to goad Oakland into kicking to the NFL-record holder in punt-return touchdowns (12) might work -- if it were up to the Raiders on the punt-coverage team. But punter Shane Lechler has a little bigger say, being the one who...

The Bears brought their vaunted defense and their All-World kick returner, Devin Hester into Oakland on Sunday. And by the end of the game, it was the Raiders who were able to pull out the win on the shoulders of their defense and special teams play. The Bears defense was as advertised in this game.

Ten Random Thoughts on the Chicago Bears loss to the Oakland Raiders

Via Rant Sports  |  November 27, 2011
1. We witnessed one of the the best kicking displays in the history of the NFL. If there’s two better place kickers in the NFL than Sebastian Janakowski and Robbie Gould, I would like to know where they play. It’s amazing that neither guy has ever kicked in a Pro Bowl. While Adam Podlesh is one of the better punters in football, Shane Lechler is in a world by himself...
