Keenan Allen has set the Chargers’ all-time receptions record.
He entered Sunday night’s game against the Steelers needing just two receptions to pass Hall of Fame tight end Antonio Gates on the franchise list. He tied Gates’ record with a 13-yard reception early in the third quarter. He then broke that record with a quick pass late in the fourth quarter for a 7-yard gain.
Allen, a third-round draft pick in 2013, has played all but one of his 13 professional seasons with the Chargers, after spending last season with the Bears.
Allen is also No. 2 on the team’s franchise list behind Gates in receiving yards, and is No. 3 on the team’s franchise list with 63 touchdowns.
The Chargers lead the Steelers 25-10 at the end of the fourth quarter.
