The full episode, in writing
Kaytron Allen came off Washington's injury report before Sunday after a hip issue, per NBC Sports, and he was not on the team's inactive list, per SI. The play-by-play does not have him in it: no carry, no target, no return. Snap counts are not in the feed this show reads, so that says nothing about how much he was on the field. It says the ball did not go his way.
Where it went: Washington ran 28 designed runs, 19 for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, eight for Rachaad White and one for Marcus Mariota. In each of the first two weeks Allen had carried on Washington's final possession. This time the final possession started up two with two 46 left and needed first downs; after a Croskey-Merritt carry and an incompletion, the ball went to White, 19 yards on third and nine, then two more carries, before Mariota's nine-yard run let Washington kneel.
Back in June the preview called Allen a deep-league dart — a sixth-round rookie, a hundred 80-seventh in April, behind Croskey-Merritt and White — and named goal-line work as the one door his size might open first. Week 1 was four carries, three on the final drive, the last to the one-yard line. Week 2 was five carries, all on the final drive of a decided game. Sunday, in a game decided on the last drive, he had none. Nine carries in three games, all of them after halftime. Washington faces the Colts in London on Sunday the fourth.
