This was the only clutch performance in Philadelphia this weekend.

The Eagles lost at home to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, and for the second straight week, wide receiver Nelson Agholor made crucial errors in big moments. A week after dropping what could have been a game-winning touchdown pass against the Atlanta Falcons, Agholor had two more drops and a fumble as his team fell to 1-2 on the young season.

Unsurprisingly, the ire toward the fifth-year player was real in the City of Brotherly Love – even in moments of life or death.

Eagles fan Hakim Laws was walking through West Philadelphia early Monday morning when he came across a building fire. A family was trapped on the top floor, and smoke had engulfed the staircase, blocking their escape route.

So, with Laws and other good Samaritans standing below, the family tossed their children from the window. And unlike Agholor, Laws rose up to the moment and made the catch.

Later, in an interview with CBS Philly, he didn’t miss an opportunity to take a shot at the Eagles wide receiver.

“My man just started throwing babies out the window, and we was catching them,” he said in the interview. “Unlike Agholor.”

To be fair to Agholor, he wasn’t the only Philadelphia pass catcher with a case of the butterfingers. The Eagles dropped a combined seven passes, including two that could have been touchdowns. Dallas Goedert had a perfect pass from Carson Wentz bounce off his hands in the end zone, and JJ Arcega-Whiteside let a potential game-saving 4th-and-15 bomb go through his fingertips.

With star wideouts Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson still injured, maybe Doug Pederson should give Laws a call.
