When Jacob Hester first arrived at Stefan Logan while covering a fourth-quarter punt, his initial thought was to try and help one of his teammates make a big play and it turns out Hester, with a little assistance from David Binn, provided a jolt himself. “We needed a play,” Hester said as he recounted his 41-yard touchdown run on a fumble recovery. “I got down there and tried to hold him up and actually try to let someone else strip it but Dave Binn held him up long enough for me to make a play on it.” Once Hester saw he had a chance to strip the ball loose, he reached in, wrestled it away from Logan and took off down the sideline and after a 41-yard scamper, the Chargers pulled within two scores of Pittsburgh. “He’s a playmaker and it’s an opportunistic play,” Head Coach Norv Turner said. “Their returner was struggling for extra yardage and that can happen to you. The ball got loose and Jacob pulled it out.” Hester wisely delayed his celebration, knowing that the play would likely be reviewed. “I knew he wasn’t down but I didn’t know how they were going to call it,” Hester said.
