PITTSBURGH — Nelson Agholor and Mac Jones put in serious work during the offseason, eager to develop better chemistry than that showed in their first season as Patriots teammates. The two showed a strong rapport throughout training camp, despite New England enduring well-documented struggles on offense.
Their hard work didn’t pay off last week when Agholor caught only three passes for 28 yards while fumbling in a season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins. But Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was a far different story.
Agholor was the Patriots’ top offensive performer in a 17-14 win at Acrisure Stadium, catching six balls for 110 yards while eclipsing 100 yards for the first time since joining New England in 2021.
