Allen rushed eight times for 34 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
Allen was much more efficient than Breece Hall, who turned 10 carries and five targets into only 18 scrimmage yards. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound rookie is averaging 4.8 yards per carry compared to 3.1 for Hall, and per Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York, coach Robert Saleh said after the game that the team will look into giving Allen more goal-line carries moving forward after Hall was denied on back-to-back rush attempts from the one-yard line in the first half. If Hall continues to struggle in Week 5 against the Vikings in London, Allen could be called upon to play a larger role.
