Keenan Allen Falls Just Short
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen finished Sunday with 71 yards receiving on five catches, and he came so close to converting one of those into a touchdown. Allen snagged a short pass on the outside and turned upfield with a clear shot at the pylon. Unfortunately, he slipped just a hair and ended up tumbling to the ground a few feet short of the line. Melvin Gordon was then handed the ball for the quick TD. Allen has seemed quiet for most of the season since his big, breakout games happened way back in Weeks 1 and 3, but his 95 catches puts him on pace to challenge for a new personal best. He'll need eight grabs next weeks against Kansas City to set a new personal record, and that's how many he got against them a month ago.
