Pittsburgh Steelers veteran safety Will Allen not only returned from injury, he also returned to the starting lineup after missing the past three games, and all but eight snaps of the game before that, due to an ankle injury.
It was a bit of a questionable decision given that, in his place, Robert Golden had seemed to establish a level of comfort and consistency with the rest of the defense over the course of the previous four games; Allen was never set in stone to be the starter in the first place.
