Nelson Agholor was not happy with quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The National Football League began the 2024 season with a special Thursday Night Football kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.
In the first half of the game, the Ravens tried to impose their will by removing the Chiefs fan base from the game.
You do that by running the ball effectively and completing short passe for nice gains to matriculate the ball up the field.
The Ravens had that in mind when Lamar Jackson completed a quick pass to wide receiver Nelson Agholor as he tried to gain a few yards for a first down on a fourth down play.
Unfortunately, it appears somebody missed a key block and Agholor may have gained just a single yard.
He was not happy.
Cameras soon saw Agholor on the sidelines giving an earful to Lamar Jackson for how the play turned out.

There was clearly some miscommunication, or somebody wasn’t clear on what the play design should be.
Lamar Jackson And The Ravens Are Playing Keep Away From The Chiefs
The best way to beat the Kansas City Chiefs is to keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes’ hands.
Lamar Jackson may not have the offense rolling in the first half, but it is surely doing enough to kill the clock and keep Mahomes on the sidelines.
In the first half, Jackson and the offense had the ball for almost 20 minutes compared to the Chiefs having it for 10.
Jackson is 13 of 18 on completions for 105 yards, per the box score.
He has also been using his legs, as he has eight carries for 63 yards.
