Once he saw he was in the clear, Hester paid tribute to Prime Time by high-stepping his way into the end zone to give his team the 35-0 lead.

Head coach Mike Smith didn't seem too upset that Hester was flagged for high-stepping, based off this exchange they had on the sideline.

After the touchdown, Sanders sent out a tweet to congratulate Hester on breaking his record.

According to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith, Hester was the first player in the NFL to have forced and recovered a fumble, rushed for a touchdown and returned a touchdown in one game.
