For Agholor, that was his second receiving touchdown of the season, and his first touchdown since October 24 against the New York Jets. Â With the reception, Jones was able to record his 13th touchdown pass of the season. The wide receiver took advantage of busted coverage from the Atlanta Falcons, and Jones was able to find the receiver quickly and give him space to run after the catch/
The touchdown capped off a drive that lasted seven plays, 76 yards and took 3:29 off the clock.
Hello and good bye, NELLY TD!
