Also caught pass over the middle on third down that he took 38 yards to the Seattle 10 with under two minutes remaining in the first half to help set up a 29-yard Crosby FG…At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Started and led the team with eight receptions for 130 yards (16.3 avg.) and a TD. His four catches of 20-plus yards set a (then) team postseason record.

Three plays later, made spectacular one-handed grab with his left hand on back-shoulder throw from Rodgers for 6-yard TD.
