CARSON, Calif. -- Now that’s more like it.
The offense for the Los Angeles Chargers finally played to its potential in a 54-24 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
And the emergence of Keenan Allen was at the center of the Chargers’ resurgent effort. The Cal product finished with 12 receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets, as quarterback Philip Rivers consistently looked for Allen throughout the game.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, it was Allen’s first career game with at least 150 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns, and he became the first Charger since Vince Jackson in 2011 to accomplish that feat (172 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns).
