New York Jets receive unexpected boost from Braelon Allen as remarkable statistics reveal his growing importance to offense

Ross Johnston argues that running back Braelon Allen has provided a major boost to the New York Jets offense while stepping in for the injured Breece Hall. Over a two-week stretch, Allen has emerged as one of the league's most productive rushers, highlighted by a 116-yard, one-touchdown performance on 24 carries against the Cleveland Browns.

Johnston highlights that Allen forced 11 missed tackles and generated six runs of 10-plus yards across the two games, trailing only top league rushers. While Hall remains sidelined for the upcoming game against the New England Patriots, Johnston believes Allen's physical, between-the-tackles style will ultimately complement Hall's open-field explosiveness once both are healthy.
