New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor makes dazzling 44-yard touchdown catch
It was a “wow” play in a first half mostly void of them, capping off the Patriots’ eight-play, 74-yard drive that covered 2 minutes, 46 seconds.
The touchdown gave the Patriots a 10-3 lead at halftime.
On the third-and-3 play, Jones threw toward a streaking Agholor deep down the right side, despite Steelers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon being there with tight coverage.
Agholor came down with the tight-window catch, reaching over Witherspoon on a play that seems destined for ESPN’s “You got Mossed” segment. Agholor caught it at around the 7-yard line, and with no one behind him, raced into the end zone untouched — leaping over the goal line and then flipping the football into the air as part of his celebration.
The play had a completion probability of 26.2%, the third-lowest completion probability on a Mac Jones TD in his career.
