Keenan Allen Becomes Chargers' All-Time Receptions Leader on Late Pop Pass

The six-time Pro Bowler returned after a year in Chicago to fill a void, remaining Justin Herbert’s trusted target.

Overview

  • Allen recorded his 956th career catch to surpass Hall of Famer Antonio Gates’ franchise mark of 955.
  • The record came on a designed pop pass for a seven-yard gain late in the fourth quarter.
  • Allen said he proposed the high-percentage call, asking for a soft toss in front of the quarterback.
  • Gates was on the sideline for the moment and greeted Allen after the catch.
  • Allen rejoined Los Angeles in 2025 after a season with the Bears following Mike Williams’ retirement, and he continues to anchor key third-down snaps.
