With two touchdowns against the Jaguars in the Wild Card Round on Saturday night, wide receiver Keenan Allen could set the Chargers’ all-time postseason receiving touchdown record, currently at five.
Additionally, a performance with two touchdown catches would tie for the most by a Charger in a single postseason game. Allen last set it in the 2013 AFC Divisional Round against the Denver Broncos.
Injuries limited him to 10 games, but Allen still had 66 catches for 752 yards and four touchdowns. And last weekend, in the season finale game against the Broncos, Allen had eight catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
Jacksonville heads into this contest 30th in passing defense DVOA, which could result in Allen having a big game and potentially writing his name into the team’s record book.
Allen, who has been with the Chargers since he entered the league as a third-round pick in 2013, has been one of the most steady presences on the team’s offense for the better part of a decade and is sure to be motivated to break this record with an outstanding showing in the postseason.
