Oronde Gadsden took it up another notch after a career-high day last week.

The Chargers rookie tight end posted his first career 100-yard game in Week 7 against the Colts early in the third quarter.

And he only needed three catches to do it.

Gadsden hauled in gains of 22 and 30 before exploding for a career-long 53 yard catch and run to start the second half.

The fifth-round pick kept the momentum going after his long catch.

He hauled in his first career touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a third-and goal from 15 yards out, where he found some space and secured the grab to bring his total to six receptions for 156 yards.

Gadsden became the first Chargers tight end in franchise history with 100 receiving yards since 2019 when Hunter Henry hit the mark against the Steelers.

He is also the fourth rookie tight end in the Super Bowl era to record 150 reception yards in a game.

It was a big day through the air as Keenan Allen also surpassed the 100-yard mark and a touchdown, becoming the first pair of Chargers teammates with 100 reception yards and a receiving score in a game since 2012 against the Raiders when Malcom Floyd and Antonio Gates hit the mark.
