The full read
Kaytron Allen, in his second game with Miami, touched the ball twice against the Lions, and one of them was the Dolphins' most valuable play of the day. Down 16-6 on the first snap of the fourth quarter, fourth and 3 at the Miami 36, punter Bradley Pinion threw from punt formation, short over the middle, and Allen took it 46 yards to the Detroit 18: +5.3 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, and 17.7 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Miami reached first and goal at the 7, was sacked twice and kicked a field goal. His one carry, early in the third, lost a yard, -0.9 EPA.
It was his first catch of the season. Through Week 8, in four games, three of them with Washington, he had 12 carries for 41 yards and -3.8 EPA.
