Eagles’ Jalen Reagor drops two potential TD passes in the team’s last minute before the Giants . loss

The Eagles had more than one chance in the final minutes of Sunday’s game to beat the Giants but ended up losing 13-7.

What is up? First, wide spotter Jalen Reagor overlooked not one, but two, potential touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. Had he caught only one of them, the Eagles (5-7) could have won the game.

The first pass, which Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts hit from about 50 yards, bounced off Reagor’s helmet as he was running into the back yard.

The second pass, also from Hurts, came about 40 seconds later, this time from inside the Giant’s 35. The ball hits the ground, then goes out of Reagor’s hand. This ended up becoming Philadelphia’s last game as it was down to fourth.

Fans were not happy with Reagor after the game. Reagor spoke to the media and admitted that fans would be upset about his performance, which he called “not special.” He has been credited with one drop into the game, according to Pro Football Reference.

“They’re drops… You have to heat them up,” said Regor, via The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Whatever will be said will be said regardless.”

Reagor’s performance on Sunday brought flashbacks to Nelson Agholor, who has become famous among Eagles fans for his critical drop. Agholor’s final season with the Eagles was in 2019, which was the year he had multiple drops, some of which were on passes he should have encountered.

Eagles fans are also reminded of the wide receivers the team could have drafted last year instead of the Reagor. One who stood out the most: Justin Jefferson, who was picked by the Vikings after Reagor in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Just comparing their stats, it’s understandable why Eagles fans are annoyed. This season, Reagan has caught 25 of his 45 goals for 201 yards and two touchdowns. He caught two of seven targets on Sunday. On the other hand, Jefferson hit the field Sunday with 63 hits on 89 targets for 944 yards and six touchdowns. Quite different from Regor.

Fans are clamoring for Reagor to be substituted in Week 13 against the Jets. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has not yet commented on Reagor’s condition.
