Yahoo Sports NFL on Cyrus Allen

Allen's nine-snap performance showed breakout potential with impressive timing.

Allen was a hot commodity during the preseason but saw minimal impact this season until Sunday's game against the Chargers. Despite playing only nine snaps, he made the most of his opportunities with a catch lined up in the slot where he created a mismatch against the linebacker, using outstanding acceleration to get past the linebacker level and find the spot between the two high safeties. The timing and precision of his play with Mahomes was impressive given how few live snaps they have had together in games. If Allen keeps making plays like this, he should earn a bigger role in the offense.
