NFL Week 2, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
18. Agholor catches 70-yard touchdown
Any football fan still questioning the decision by the Philadelphia Eagles to bring back DeSean Jackson this offseason needs to look at what the veteran accomplished on Sunday against the Washington Redskins because it was quite a show.
Watching Jackson haul in eight catches for 154 yards to go along with two scores was the perfect way for the Eagles star to make his return, and there will be plenty of excitement to see what he manages to do for an encore when the team takes on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.
One of the main advantage Philadelphia has as an offense in general is all of the weapons beyond Jackson that Carson Wentz has to work with, and one player worth keeping an eye on during Sunday night’s meeting with the Falcons could be Nelson Agholor.
Even though Agholor’s career with the Eagles didn’t exactly get off to the best start when the team used a first-round pick on the wideout in 2015, he’s certainly found a way to make a name for himself over the last few years.
With Jackson on board, it’s safe to say that Agholor is going to be one of the players that could benefit the most with additional passes thrown in his direction, especially on Sunday with the Falcons focusing most of their attention on the whereabouts of his teammate.
Agholor has been part of numerous long-touchdown catches over the last two seasons, and if he were to add one more to the list in Week 2, the Eagles wouldn’t be mad one bit.
