Their fourth touchdown of the night came from one of their newest acquisitions. Longtime Chicago Bear Devin Hester took an end-around and reminded us what we already know: if you let this guy get going in the open field, he is going to find the end zone.
That is exactly what he did here, scoring with no resistance whatsoever from the Tampa Bay defense to make the score 28-0 in favor of the Falcons.
For all of Hester’s extensive career accomplishments as a returner and his limited accomplishments as a wide receiver, this touchdown still marked a first for him.
That 20-yard TD isn't just Devin Hester's first ever rush TD, it's tied for the longest rush of his career.

For all of the ways Hester has been used in his career, he hasn’t really done much as far as running the ball. Expect that to change as long as the Falcons keep getting results like this.
