Out of necessity, Eagles create their best receiving corps | Mike Sielski

For Nelson Agholor, a Sunday afternoon without playing football means, apparently, a Sunday afternoon without watching football. So, with the Eagles on their bye week, he didn't see a second of the Atlanta Falcons' 38-14 victory over the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field, of Matt Ryan throwing for 350 yards and four touchdowns and completing passes to six receivers and tearing the Redskins' defense apart. But then, he didn't have to see even half a second of that game to know why the Eagles had traded a third-round draft pick last week to the Detroit Lions for wide receiver Golden Tate.
