In week 3 of the regular season, Allen started in place of the injured Newton against the Cardinals in his home state of Arizona. Allen and the Panthers followed up that victory with three more, culminating with a convincing 37-26 win over the Buccaneers last week in London. “I think that it’s just that you experience a lot of things out on the field through different games,” said Allen. Offsetting that propensity is an unmatched stat: Allen set an NFL record by going 5-0 in his first five career starts without throwing a single interception. The Panthers will return from their bye week to face a likely undefeated 49ers team on October 27 in San Francisco.
