Bears Ball Boy Outruns Lions Special Teams on Knox TD Return

On Sunday, Snyder pointed out that Bears rookie Johnny Knox almost pulled a "DeSean" on his 106-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Lost amid that conversation was the fact that the Bears' ball boy outran the entire Lions special teams down the field as Knox -- possibly the fastest player in the NFL -- made his way to the end zone.

Moving pictures after the jump.



That play, along with about 60 others probably had a lot to do with Lions head coach Jim Schwartz's post-game comments:

"One of the worst second halves of football I have ever been associated with. We were poor on special teams, we were poor on offense, we were poor on defense. We were outcoached, we were outplayed ... their trainers were probably even better than ours in the second half."

Yes, but the ball boy assigned to your side of the field will, barring injury, end up in the Pro Bowl. There's that.
