10 Best Super Bowl Plays Ever

9. Super Bowl 41: Devin Hester Returns The Opening Kick

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbhR-MrLAAA The kickoff at the Super Bowl is never returned. That used to be a fact. After two weeks of preparation, teams were either too on point to let a return pass them by, or too cautious not to open the game with a turnover for the opening kick to go all the way to the house. A few punts and later kickoffs had been returned in years before, but until the Chicago's Bears return specialist, rookie Devin Hester, showed up the opening kick was a safe bet. The problem with Hester was that he had wrecked the entire league all season with his punt and kickoff returns and the Super Bowl match-up against the Indianapolis Colts was no different. At least, to begin with. The Colts quickly decided to not kick to Hester for the rest of the game, effectively nullifying him for the following fifty-nine minutes. Still, Hester made his mark and it's a hell of a return too. Fielding it from the eight yard line, cutting through a wave of Colts players, breezing right by kicker Adam Vinetari (meaning he was stupid enough to both kick to Hester and think he could catch him) before being tackled in the endzone. As the commentators say, "Devin Hester, you are ridiculous".
