Ravens Nelson Agholor Scores First Career Playoff TD vs. Texans

Baltimore Ravens receiver Nelson Agholor scored the game's first touchdown, which also happened to be the first playoff touchdown of his career.

The Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans battled in the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs. After a back-and-forth first quarter that saw the teams trade field goals, Baltimore clicked into gear in the second quarter.

Lamar Jackson orchestrated a 13-play, 76-yard drive that ended with a Nelson Agholor touchdown to give Baltimore a 10-3 lead.

Agholor, who had an up-and-down season for the Ravens finished with 381 yards and four touchdowns from his 35 catches as he surpassed his totals from last season with the New England Patriots. 

But Agholor's touchdown, while the firestarter for Baltimore as it was the game's first touchdown and gave the Ravens momentum, was also rather special for Agholor himself.

It was his first-ever touchdown in the playoffs. 

Agholor had been to the postseason twice before, both times with the Philadelphia Eagles, but never found the end zone.

Well, he hauled in a three-yard pass from Jackson to get his first-ever career postseason touchdown.
