You know what? Game balls for everyone

Any game balls left?

"I got two," Bears rookie Zack Bowman said after maybe setting a record Sunday by snagging a pair in his NFL debut thanks to a touchdown and an interception.

"I'm going to hang both of them up."

Garrett Wolfe earned a game ball of his own by scoring his first pro touchdown. The running back didn't rush for a TD, however. Rather, he fielded a blocked punt and sped 17 yards into the end zone, a play that might be one of the funniest in the Bears' 4-3 season so far.

Rookie Craig Steltz earned credit for his first career block, when Minnesota punter Chris Kluwe fumbled a perfect snap deep in his own territory in the first quarter, picked up the ball and had it smothered by Steltz as he tried to punt it. With the ball spinning on the Soldier Field grass, Kluwe kicked the ball again. He booted it right to Wolfe, who fielded it like a shortstop and seconds later was celebrating his unlikely score.

Like Bowman, second-year cornerbacks Trumaine McBride and Corey Graham secured souvenir footballs thanks to their first NFL interceptions.

In the second quarter, Brad Maynard's high punt bounced around the Minnesota 7 and hit Vikings return man Chuck Gordon, who was trying to block the gunner.

"It was an aggressive mistake," Vikings head coach Brad Childress said. "Chuck Gordon is a sure-handed guy back there. That's a football bounce."

The ball bounced into the end zone, where Bowman dived on it, recovering it for a touchdown.

"That was beautiful," Bowman said. "I was actually talking to Garrett about when he got his, because I was right behind him. I was like, 'I was just hoping that you were going to miss it so I could scoop it.' Then the next thing you know, I got my opportunity (to score) and I jumped on the ball."

It was a keeper.
