Nelson Agholor stepped up.

With Alshon Jeffery out for a few weeks, his teammate, Nelson Agholor, had to pick up the slack. And the USC product, did a pretty nice job.

He finished the game with eight receptions for 33 yards. His most significant play came from his passing, not his receiving.It came in the form of another ‘Philly Special’.

On a third-and-five play in the third quarter, Agholor hit his quarterback Foles for a 15-yard gain. It appears Foles still has the upper hand on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in that regard (insert smirk emoji here).

The catch and run led to a touchdown that put the Eagles up by a score of 10-6.
