Jets' Braelon Allen Shines in Preseason Debut

In the Jets' 20-17 preseason win over the Commanders, rookie running back Braelon Allen impressed with 54 yards on six carries, including notable runs of 24 and 16 yards, emerging as the top backup to Breece Hall. Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed one of two passes for minus-1 yard and led two three-and-out drives before Andrew Peasley took over. Head coach Robert Saleh praised Allen for his heavy running style and ability to break tackles. Despite the Jets' offense struggling initially, Allen's performances helped spark the team in the second quarter. The game featured several key players resting, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Jets will look to build on this momentum as they continue their preseason schedule next week against the Panthers.
