‘Allen’s slow start was worrisome, but he heated up in the second half by taking what the defense was giving and protecting the football with great patience and care. The result was perhaps not the fireworks he is capable of, but more of a surgical approach that cut out the mistakes that have recently plagued the offense. Allen was not required to make things happen in this game, he only needed to keep the ship in the channel and let the running game, the defense, and special teams do the rest.’
