I think that Allen is a one year wonder, and as your stats show, he only got sacks early on in games, not during the 4th quarter when the dismall chiefs could have used them. Allen is a one year wonder, and Herm got a great deal by trading Allen away. Look for Allen's sack total to go way down this season.

I don't expect a guy who had 15.5 sacks and 65 tackles to slump this year in a weaker division, especially with how bad the Lions defense is going to be this year. He might be leaving the raiders behind, but he also doesn't have to face the Broncos or the Chargers twice a year. Now he goes to a division where one team has a horrible defense and the other two don't have proven QB's.
