Braelon Allen rumbles for 147 yards and a score in Week 8
Braelon Allen rushes for over 100 yards for the third time this season, but it proves not to be enough in Week 8 shootout versus the Raiders.
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen had an impressive Week 8 performance against the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. Allen also caught both of his targets for six yards. These numbers mark a career-high yardage for Allen, who has now scored three rushing touchdowns in five starts, topping 100 yards for the third time in five starts.
His 5.4 yards per carry average over that stretch is noteworthy. It remains uncertain whether Allen will continue to see playing time in the backfield, potentially due to a Hall trade or the coaching staff's decision to rely on Allen's hot hand. If Hall is ready to play, his status at the team remains unclear. Fans should keep Allen on their RB2 line for Week 9 against a strong Kansas City run defense, assuming Hall's availability remains uncertain.
