Prior to the injury, Allen had his worst performance of the season, throwing two interceptions without a touchdown pass in the 20-17 loss to the Jets.

"I made some bad decisions tonight, and it really cost our team. [There’s] a lot to learn from, a lot to grow from. But that’s not the standard we hold ourselves to. That’s not the ball that we play."
