If I recall correctly, Plax was out of a game due to injury and Hixon stepped in and got over 100 yards receiving. The Giants also scored over 30 in that game... I think.

Not sure if it was 90 yards, but it was a huge play. Possibly 80, hell might even have been 90. Hixon had a monster game against Seattle when Plax was suspended by the team. He had 2 TD's and they won something like 44-6. Plax got hurt before the Skins game in Washington and the Giants won 23-7. Both of those games gave Giants fans a false sense of security that they could win without Burress. Problem is their is a difference between beating Seattle and the Redskins and beating a good NFL team.
