Nelson Agholor memes are again making rounds on the internet. The pass catcher dropped a wide-open touchdown pass in a matchup against the Steelers, which proved costly in the 17-10 loss.
Streaking down the sidelines, Agholor got behind the Pittsburgh defense for what looked to be an easy score. Lamar Jackson put the football right on his wideout’s hands, but it fell harmlessly to the ground for an incomplete pass.
Baltimore had to punt two plays later.

The play should’ve given Baltimore six more points, which would’ve been helpful in a close game. A potential score could’ve put the Ravens up 17-3 in the second half, but instead, they’d blow a late lead with Pittsburgh scoring the final 17 points of the game.
It’s not the first time Agholor’s hands have made headlines.
While a member of the Eagles, the receiver experienced a string of unfortunate outings which resulted in Philly losses. After dropping a game-winning touchdown against the Falcons, he had two more drops and a critical fumble the next week in a loss to the Lions.
It led to an incredible one-liner from a Philadelphia hero that had just helped a family escape an apartment fire.
“My man just started throwing babies out the window, and we was catching ’em, unlike Agholor.”
The man, Hakim Laws, is now resurfacing in meme form as he does every time Nelson Agholor has a crucial drop.

Jokes aside, the wideout has been reliable for the most part in Baltimore. He’s hauled in 14 of his 17 targets this year, and he recorded a season-high 64 yards on Sunday against Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, this drop is what will be remembered.
