Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback Brandon Allen is definitely not like a box of chocolates. Love him, like him or hate him, you pretty much know what you’re gonna get.
With Allen, what you get is efficiency and competitiveness. And not a lot of mistakes. His passes may not always be pretty, but they usually get to where they are going.
Saturday in preseason tilt No. 3 against the defending Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams, Allen stepped it up a notch and showed why the Denver Broncos had made him a starter earlier in his career after completing 11/15 passes (73%) for 130 yards and a quarterback rating of 99.
