CHICAGO, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Devin Hester caught a 55-yard touchdown pass and returned a punt 64 yards for a score Sunday to help the Chicago Bears defeat the New Orleans Saints 33-25.

Kyle Orton threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw an interception for the Bears (7-9), while Adrian Peterson ran for 91 yards on 21 carries and also threw a touchdown pass, and Mark Bradley caught a 19-yard TD pass from Orton.
