Agholor was on the field for 71 snaps and was targeted just four times.

"Again, I've got all the confidence in Nelson," Pederson told the 94WIP Morning Show on Monday. "That's the thing as a coach. And I know maybe people on the outside don't believe that, whatever, and want to kick him to the curb, but I'm not gonna kick him to the curb because he's one of mine. He's one of ours. And we're gonna continue to work and build his confidence. As athletes, we put ourselves in those situations mentally too where, 'Hey when the ball comes to me I'm gonna make the play.'"
