The full read

Braelon Allen lost the game's biggest play against the Chiefs: 8 carries for 33 yards and a lost fumble, plus 2 catches for 21 yards, in a 35-12 loss. His carries were worth -6.3 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.

Up 9-7 with 6:29 left in the second quarter, first and 10 at the New York 21, he ran up the middle for 5 yards and Nick Bolton knocked the ball out. Alohi Gilman recovered at the 26 and returned it to the 24, -4.6 EPA and 22.0 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, the largest swing of the game. Kansas City scored two snaps later and never trailed again. Earlier he had caught a 19-yard pass on first and 15 at midfield, +1.6 EPA, and run 12 yards on second and 3.

It was a step back from his best stretch. He ran 21 times for 147 yards against the Raiders last week, and through Week 8 had 112 carries for 565 yards, 3 touchdowns and +0.8 EPA. The 8 carries were his fewest since Week 3.
