2022 Chargers Position Recap: Wide Receivers

2022 Chargers Position Recap: Wide Receivers


The Bolts had six players that had at least 500 receiving yards and three touchdown catches — the most players to do so on the same team in a single season in NFL history. Four of those players were wide receivers in Allen, Carter, Palmer and Williams.

Williams had a penchant for the big play in 2022, but his 35-yard catch against Tennessee in Week 15 was perhaps his best of the year.

With the game tied at 17 and roughly 30 seconds left, Williams outdueled a Titans cornerback down the right sideline for an acrobatic catch that moved the Bolts into field goal range.

“Having a big target like Mike, knowing that he is going to the sideline, and you can really put it anywhere around the defender, he’s going to go up and get it,” said quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Week 15 win over Tennessee helped the Chargers eventually secure a playoff spot.
