INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- With a catch in the fourth quarter of the Chargers ' 25-10 win over the Steelers, wide receiver Keenan Allen became the franchise's all-time leader in receptions with 956 catches, passing Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Antonio Gates.
He needed just two receptions going into Sunday and it appeared as if Allen wouldn't get the record with just one catch late in the fourth quarter. But on the Chargers' final drive, the team ran a shovel pass to Allen to get him over the hump. The entire Chargers sideline erupted with joy after the play.
After the game, Allen told NBC that he drew up the toss play.
"They wanted me to catch like a smoke route, and I was like, 'Just give me a little soft toss in front of the quarterback would be good," he said.
