Travis Benjamin Makes Heroic Catch
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin still couldn’t get many opportunities even when starter Keenan Allen went down with a hip injury, but he got one of the most important ones. With LA down by seven in the closing two minutes of the ball game, they faced a 4th-and-7 from the KC 36-yard line. With the game on the line, the No. 1 seed in the playoffs on the line, home field advantage on the line, and an impressive KC rush in his face, quarterback Philip Rivers slung a pass over the middle to Benjamin. The pass was thrown before Benjamin made his cut, and it was halfway to him before he even turned his head. The window was just inches wide, and the throw was perfect. Benjamin snugly snatched it out of the air and weaved his way to the Chiefs 10-yard line to set up the touchdown and 2-point conversion that would win the game.
