The Cincinnati Bengals’ fanbase is hoping that Brandon Allen doesn’t see the field this season except for maybe at the tail end of blowouts.
Allen will be the backup for superstar quarterback Joe Burrow for a third straight season and should continue to grow in his role. While not quite as popular with Burrow in town, one play could change all that for Allen.
Of course, no one hopes to see the Bengals rising star get injured. But we’ve seen many times before, how good a team’s backup is can change the dynamic of a season.
