"He is outrageous right now," coach Martz said.
Holt leads the NFC and his 41 receptions puts him in a three-way tie for the NFL lead with Marvin Harrison of the Colts and Hines Ward of the Steelers.
Holt signed a new seven-year, $42 million contract in July, just before the start of training camp. He had been about to enter the final season of a five-year, $10 million deal he signed as a rookie first-round pick.
