Lining up at 2nd and Goal at the Colts’ 3-yard-line, Allen took a snap which was originally meant to be a run play. The dual-threat quarterback, who has 8 rushing touchdowns to his name this season, looked set to run the ball into the endzone. But after failing to find a hole in the Colts D-line, Allen soon realized he was in trouble.
Charged down by the Colts defense, Allen was soon under pressure of being sacked. This meant trouble for him as he had already been taken down earlier in the first quarter of the game.
