Nelson Agholor had just one drop prior to his “I don’t want to hear about the drops rant” two weeks ago.
He’s had two since, including a crucial one on a 3rd-and-2 during the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 24-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Agholor had two receptions for seven yards against Atlanta. Here’s what Pro Football Focus, which ranked him No. 7 on their weekly Top 10 worst players of the week post, had to say about his performance.
Agholor was on the field for 71 snaps against the Falcons and was only targeted four times. That would be bad enough, except from those four targets he could manage just two catches for seven yards, and one of them required a pointless challenge to secure as he bobbled a pass going to ground at the sideline. That turned 2nd-and-20 into 2nd-and-16, but cost the Eagles a challenge where a clean catch would have spared it. Agholor also dropped another of the targets and was effectively a drag on the entire Eagles’ offense in Philadelphia’s close win.
Dorial Green-Beckham and Agholor combined for seven yards on two catches Sunday, how much worse can the tandem of Bryce Treggs and Paul Turner be?
