Nelson Agholor had yet another costly drop for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his error led to plenty of memes, as you would expect.
Philly had a 4th-and-10 down 17-10 in the final minute against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Carson Wentz was under pressure and lofted a ball into the end zone off his back foot that was intended for Agholor. Agholor had his man beat by a step but was unable to come down with the tough grab.
Here are two angles of the play:

The catch would have been difficult, but it’s one Agholor could have made. It would have given the Eagles a chance to tie the game or take the lead, too.
Agholor has been the subject of past criticism — even from total strangers — over his drops. He’s also faced questions for his effort on a long bomb too.
That’s part of the reason why there were plenty of memes involving him:
