Nelson Agholor is no longer Public Enemy No. 1 in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Eagles dropped a very winnable and frustrating 13-7 game to the New York Giants on Sunday. Jalen Hurts had a poor showing with three interceptions off of some very bizarre decisions, but much of Philadelphia fans’ ire is now being directed at wide receiver Jalen Reagor.
In the final minute of the game with the Eagles trailing by six, Reagor had not one, but two crucial drops on throws which would have likely resulted in touchdowns. The first came on a lofted Hurts throw on first and 10 with a minute left, which bounced off of Reagor’s helmet and hands and fell incomplete.

The second came on the Eagles final play of the game, as Hurts tossed a ball down the middle of the field at Reagor at the one yard line. The ball hit Reagor in his hands but was dropped, sealing the Eagles’ fate on the day.
You want to know why I hate on Jalen Reagor? Jalen Hurts put the ball in his hands in the endzone 2 times in 4 plays. Both drops. pic.twitter.com/90P1BItfyI

To say the Philly faithful are angry at Reagor would be… an understatement. However, everyone had the same joke ready to go after the loss, calling back to Agholor’s penchant for dropping footballs during his time with the Eagles, which spawned its own meme back in 2019.

it’s a feat to be so bad you can make an entire city wonder, “hmm would Nelson Agholor be an upgrade”

Those two drops by Reagor were worse than anything Nelson Agholor or J.J. Arcega-Whiteside ever did for the Eagles.

Reagor has to be benched next week right? Agholor style. It made him better.
