Allen made just his second catch of the game, which was enough for the wide receiver to surpass Gates.

The 33-year-old has spent 12 of his 13 NFL seasons with the Chargers.

Drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Allen is currently the sole player remaining from the Chargers’ San Diego era.

He now totals 1,024 career receptions, including 70 with the Chicago Bears in 2024, accumulating 11,794 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns.

Allen set the record in front of Gates, who expressed that there was no one else he would prefer to hold this record than Allen.

Los Angeles won the game 25-10, improving their record to 7-3 this season.
