MINNEAPOLIS -- The Los Angeles Chargers' easiest touchdown pass of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings came with a receiver throwing it.

Chargers receiver Keenan Allen caught a lateral from Justin Herbert behind the line of scrimmage, drawing the Vikings defense in, before he launched the ball to Mike Williams, who was by himself for a 49-yard touchdown.

Allen became the second player in NFL history to record at least 10 receptions, 100 receiving yards while also throwing a 40-yard TD pass in the same game, joining Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
