The sight of Dallas Cowboys receiver Jesse Holley getting behind San Francisco's defense in Week 2 and turning a deep pass into a 77-yard gain in overtime - the most memorable play in a 27-24 victory - prompted a corresponding route at the NFL Network headquarters in Culver City, Calif. Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin burst out of his office at the studios and ran whooping down the hall. (Fayetteville Observer)
