Kyle Allen saw his first action of the season in Week 14 against Dallas. How did Allen perform?
I feel he made two excellent passes; more on them shortly.
He took what the defense gave him on his only play of the first half, running 11 yards for a first down.
Taylor Heinicke and Tyler Larsen were both injured, so Allen again entered the game at 12:30, remaining in the game. On his second possession, Washington drove 73 yards in 13 plays.
On a second & 15 at the WFT 46, Allen confidently completed a long-out to Cam Sims for 19 yards to the Dallas 45.
Not saying Kyle Allen is good…but this is a throw Heinicke can’t make with this type of ease. pic.twitter.com/1KCtPtoRGj

On a third & 4 at the Dallas 29, Allen dumped the ball to Jonathan Williams, who nicely advanced for 19 yards to the 10, leading to a touchdown.
Trailing 27-20, facing a second and 3 at the WFT 37 with just under 3 minutes remaining, Allen delivered this long pass to DeAndre Carter, who could have made this catch for a first down at the Dallas 30 with 2:40 remaining.
This was a pretty damn good throw by Kyle Allen, Carter just couldn't quite hold on pic.twitter.com/92MvJDaqCE

Allen, being sacked, fumbled on the next play, ending the WFT comeback hopes.
Allen finished his day 4-9 for 53 passing yards (5.9 ypa), and 11 rushing yards in two carries, and was on his way to giving Washington a chance to tie until a final turnover ended things.
