Recent Game Summaries
2019 Week 7 vs TEN (11 / 4 / 61 / 0 rec)
Allen continued his shockingly quiet 2019 campaign with yet another substandard (for him) performance. He didn't play particularly poorly, but once again took a back seat to both Austin Ekeler and Hunter Henry in the passing game. Allen got open down the sideline on the first play of the game and Rivers fired him a bullet pass, but the defender made a tremendous break in closing back to the ball and deflecting it away. Soon after, Allen again got open over the middle. Rivers went high with the pass and Allen got a hand on it, but was unable to bring it in as he came down to the field. He finally made his first catch with just under four minutes left in the first quarter, a sliding grab over the middle for a nice gain. He then converted a long third down pass play by going high over the middle and shielding out the defender for the first down grab. Allen showed his athleticism on two catches close to one another, the first a tough sideline grab where he managed to drag his back foot along the sideline. And the second was ruled a catch along the sideline, but it was reviewed. Replays appeared to show his second foot missing the field, but officials presumably ruled that the bottom of his foot scraped across the grass. That catch put the ball inside the 5-yard line as Allen tried reaching out for the pylon, but didn't quite get there. But that was really the extent of Allen's involvement. He had a rare second half drop on one pass, and was the target of a 50-50 ball in the end zone on a sideline route, but the defender knocked it away and it never really had a chance.
2019 Week 6 vs PIT (6 / 2 / 33 / 0 rec)
Allen was curiously quiet in this game after destroying the Steelers last year. He was the target on Philip Rivers first deflected interception, had a catch in the first half off of play action, another in the second half when Rivers moved up in the pocket, but overall was quiet and barely noticeable in this loss.
2019 Week 5 vs DEN (6 / 4 / 18 / 0 rec)
On a day where Philip Rivers threw 48 pass attempts, it is extremely surprising that the team's number on receiving option saw just six targets. Much of that had to do with the Denver defensive scheme, with clearly game-planned to remove Allen as the man to beat them. He made a couple of nice grabs early on, but watched as Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler saw the lion's share of the passing game targets. Allen also had some rare miscues of his own. On one deep cross, Allen had a step on his defender, but he and Rivers weren't on the same page (Allen ran far but Rivers threw it underneath). And later, Allen had a rare drop on a sideline crossing route where he tried turning upfield before actually securing the ball. Aside from the miscues, Allen was really nowhere to be found despite the Chargers trailing the entire day.
2019 Week 4 vs MIA (6 / 5 / 48 / 0 rec)
The Chargers were without a number of key contributors on offense coming into this game. That could have meant that the team would feed Allen more than usual. But it could also mean that the defense would key on him more than anyone else. This story line turned out to be the latter. Allen saw just six targets the entire game. Four different Chargers caught passes on the opening drive, but Allen didn't see a single one. His first touch was actually a handoff to the right side, so the team was at least trying to get him involved. He did manage to turn in some key receptions, including a huge third down conversion over the middle where he leapt high in the air to convert it. And another one picking up 20 yards on a 2nd and 21 in the second half where hf found a soft spot in the zone with four Miami defenders in the area. Allen nearly scored on a dumpoff in the flat, but two defenders managed to force him out at the 2-yard line before he could get in. Allen's biggest play of the game was one that didn't actually count. He snagged a wide open 69-yard touchdown reception up the right side, but part of the reason he was so wide open is because he was whistled for offensive pass interference on the play, negating the score. Replays show it may have been a bit of a dubious call, although there certainly was contact made on the play.
2019 Week 3 vs HOU (17 / 13 / 183 / 2 rec, 1 / 3 / 0 rush)
Keenan Allen consistently dominated the Houston secondary in a loss on Sunday. Allen again peppered with targets and got his production all over the field. Houston gave Allen huge cushions on routes that led to big gains, but he also made multiple contested catches and created separation against press coverage. Allen created separation on his first touchdown on an out route in the red zone and made a defender miss after the catch on another red zone target that he scored on. Mike Williams has a role in the offense, but with little tight end presence and not much of a threat outside of Williams from the receiving corps, Allen is locked into a huge target share in the offense. He has the potential to overwhelm Miami next week on the road.
2019 Week 2 vs DET (15 / 8 / 98 / 0 rec)
Keenan Allen was a target monster against the Lions, leading the game with 15. Allen was peppered throughout the game, making catches all over the field. He could have had a bigger day but was overthrown twice by Philip Rivers. Allen got easy separation from defenders throughout the game. He was targeted in double coverage on a bad interception by Philip Rivers at the end of the game. With Mike Williams nursing an injury and the offense without Hunter Henry and Melvin Gordon, Allen should see no shortage of targets next week against the Houston Texans.
2019 Week 1 vs IND (10 / 8 / 123 / 1 rec)
Allen was involved every which way in the passing game for the Chargers, and was a force from beginning to end. In the early portion of the game, it was Allen and Austin Ekeler getting nearly all of the passing game looks, with almost no involvement from any other player. And Allen was turning those opportunities into production. He made a terrific leaping grab for a touchdown with two defenders in the area (and one basically draped all over him). He did a great job using his body control to box out the defender, who actually appeared to have better position on the ball. But Allen boxed him out with his prolific catch radius to shield him from getting near the ball. After a mostly quiet third quarter, Allen got involved again in the early fourth quarter. A quick slant over the middle resulted in a 21-yard gain, and had a huge grab on third and 3 with the Chargers up by one score to get first down yardage. With the Chargers attempting the knockout punch, however, Rivers targeted Allen along the back line of the end zone for a potential touchdown. But the Indianapolis defender made a fantastic break on the football, picking it off one-handed and preventing the score. After the Colts tied and sent the game to overtime, Allen made an incredible catch that won't necessarily show up on the highlight reels. It was a low pass by Rivers, but Allen went lower to get his arms under the ball and pull it up to his chest. It was such a difficult catch, that every Colts defender in the area immediately signaled to the sideline to challenge the call since it seemed so unlikely that he had made a clean grab.
