Doug Pederson Responds to Nelson Agholor's Comments on Dropping Passes

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor wanted to look past an early drop during his team's 29-23 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but head coach Doug Pederson wasn't having it.

The 23-year-old receiver stated after the game that "no one is perfect," adding that team wins are more important than individual statistics, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. Agholor also noted he didn't have a drop after the first quarter.

However, his coach disagreed with the 23-year-old's sentiments.

"I'm disappointed in the type of comments," Pederson said Monday, per McManus. "I think each individual has to be responsible for their own job, obviously. We've got to make good, smart choices. Everybody is mad and disappointed and angry after tough losses like we just came through, and cooler heads prevail."

Agholor's drop came on the first drive of the game. Quarterback Carson Wentz targeted him for a potential first down in the red zone, but the receiver couldn't hold on, forcing Philadelphia to settle for a Caleb Sturgis field goal.

Dallas later overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win in overtime, handing Philadelphia its third loss in four games after a 3-0 start. Agholor finished with three catches for 25 yards.

After the game, the receiver said he's concerned with wins and losses rather than what he is doing individually, per McManus:

"

As a team, we have a responsibility to win football games, and I get it, some plays could have helped. But there are still four quarters of football to be played, and we got to win. I don't got time for that no more. I got time to win football games, only. No statistics. No 'Who did this?' Win, that's all that matters. That's what coach staff cares about. That's what I care about. That's what we all care about -- winning football games.

"

The 2015 first-round pick has struggled with consistency since joining the NFL, totaling 21 catches on 36 targets for just 216 yards and one touchdown this season.

While not all of the missed attempts have been drops, he and Wentz need to get on the same page for the team to end its recent slide.
