From the article

While I expect Allen to have a field day picking apart the porous Detroit defense with his arm, I think he will enjoy just as much success with his legs. In 18 games a season ago (playoffs included), Allen ran for 30 yards or more in 12 of them. And if you go back to the 2024 meeting, Allen ran all over the Lions. He finished with 11 carries for 68 yards and two scores.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Allen projected to rush for 30+ yards against Detroit's weak defense.

The source projects Allen will have success with both his arm and legs against Detroit's porous defense. Allen ran for 30+ yards in 12 of 18 games last season (playoffs included) and had 11 carries for 68 yards and two scores in the 2024 meeting with the Lions. The source expects defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard to deploy more man coverage than usual, which will pressure Allen out of the pocket into open spaces for big chunk plays on the ground.
