VIDEO: Nelson Agholor Dropped a Literal Walk-in Touchdown on Eagles Final Drive vs Falcons
By Mark Powell
We don't like to point fingers, but it's tough not to do so at Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor. The former first-round pick had a walk-in touchdown on Philly's final drive against the Atlanta Falcons, but dropped the pass because he, apparently, took his eyes off the ball. It's painful to watch for Eagles fans.
In retrospect he probably should have just caught this and scored a touchdown instead of drop it and lose the game pic.twitter.com/M20mHkXdJQ

Did Agholor somewhat make up for this with a great 4th down reception to bail out Carson Wentz, who simply threw the ball up for grabs in a desperation heave? Sure. But all of that wouldn't have been necessary had he simply caught the ball initially.
Instead, Eagles fans are wondering what if, and surely hoping Agholor isn't their No. 1 option heading into next week after injuries to DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery.
