In this story:

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wideout Ladd McConkey might already have five touchdowns this season, but he did something extra special for his sixth.

After catching a gorgeous 40-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Herbert on Saturday, McConkey gifted the touchdown ball to his aunt in the stands.

Watch that moment below:

With a new total of 1,054 yards, McConkey has now broken the Chargers' receiving record for a rookie, skirting past Keenan Allen's 1,046 yards from 2013.

LA is just one quarter away from a total rout of the New England Patriots, against whom they're currently leading by more than three scores. Unless the Pats do the impossible, the Chargers will clinch a playoff berth with the win.
