Efren Herrera

Efren Herrera & holder Jim Zorn pulled off one of the best fake field goals of all-time back on October 29th, 1979. It was the Seattle Seahawks first appearance on Monday Night Football as they were in Atlanta to take on an underachieving Falcons team at Fulton County Stadium. After falling behind 14-0 the Seahawks screeched back to score 21 in the 2nd quarter. One of those TD drives continued with a little help of the aforementioned trickery of Herrera & Zorn. After lining up to attempt a 54 yarder, Zorn pulled the hold as Herrera heftily scooted by him up the middle. The lefty Zorn lobbed one for a wide open Herrera for a gain of 24. Seattle held off a late Falcons comeback to take home the win 31-28.
