GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers rookie
Randall Cobb has tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return
for a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.
Cobb took the third-quarter kick
and was hit around the Packers 23, where he spun, was able to keep
his balance and took off again.
One Saints' defender slipped on the
play, but Courtney Roby, Leigh Torrence, Isa Abdul-Quddus and
Korey Hall all had a hand on Cobb at one point.
Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson
delivered a final block on Roman Harper for the score that made it
35-20.
Cobb's return tied the record set
by Ellis Hobbs, who returned a kick 108 yards for New England
against the Jets in 2007.
