The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the highly anticipated Sunday Night showdown, and one of the biggest reasons was due to dropped passes.

Former first round draft pick Nelson Agholor failed to impress fans against the Cowboys with costly mistakes, and his demeanor after the game isn’t sitting well with Eagles management.

"I don't give a damn, man, that [stuff] is nothing. No one is perfect. I don't look at no drops, or that type of [stuff]. I'm tired of hearing that [stuff]. It's just stupid. You just have to make the next one. Everybody runs routes. Sometimes they are contested. Sometimes you drop them. If you make as many as you possibly can that come your way, you'll put yourself in a good position. No one is perfect. I don't look at no drops, or that type of [stuff]. I'm tired of hearing that [stuff]. It's just stupid.

We play football. I dropped the first one. I didn't drop one after that. What does it matter? Because if we lose, then it's like we'll place blame on this person did this. No! 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," Agholor said.

"We're disappointed, I'm disappointed in the type of comments. 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. We just have to bite our lip sometimes and just suck it up and get to work. And that's what we've got to do this week," Pederson said.

Agholor only had 25 receiving yards in the Eagles loss, and the former first round pick has never even recorded a single 70-yard game. If the Eagles are going to win the NFC East, they are going to need Agholor to perform like the player they think he can be.
