And I guess they made the playoffs by the skin of their teeth last year so maybe the standings dictated their usage of him.
When they essentially needed to win out to get to the playoffs, 4 of their 5 wins were be a score or less. Average margin of victory in those games was 4.5 points and Allen ran for 5 scores in those 4 games.
So they needed everything he had to offer.
But when they beat Washington 37-3, why does he have a rushing TD? Miami 48-20? Dallas 31-10?
If it's situational use, why not save it for when you need it? And I guess the response is "Hey, he ran for 8 TDs in the last 6 games of the regular season when every score counted..." but fellas, this is gonna come back to get you sooner or later.
You probably wanna avoid starting 6-6 this year.

They’ve been a stat padding team for years. It’s why their point differential has no predictive value on how good they actually are in the postseason.
