The Chargers and Saints had their first joint practice ahead of their Week 2 preseason matchup.
Both teams had their good moments, but the play of the day came from Keenan Allen, who made an amazing one-handed catch.
Allen was one-on-one with Saints cornerback Bradley Roby in coverage, and he beat him off the line. QB Justin Herbert then found him down the field and Allen put his body on the line to reel in the pass.
While he is getting up in age, set to be 31 this season and coming off an injury-riddled campaign, Allen is still a play-maker when healthy, as evident from catches like this. He is still one of the best route runners in the league and is a safety blanket on third down.
Allen has been vital to the Bolts’ offense throughout his professional career. During that span, Allen has caught 796 passes for 9,287 yards and 52 touchdowns.
