Allen compiled six total tackles and an interception during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.
The 27-year-old safety was limited in practice last week due to a knee issue, but he was able to rally and log his 10th consecutive start in a matchup against divisional foe Carolina. His interception of Kyle Allen shortly before the end of the first half snuffed out a potential Panthers scoring drive, and the veteran Allen made a heady move by lateraling to teammate Desmond Trufant to keep the play alive and gain an additional 16 yards on the return. The upcoming Week 12 opponent provides a tailor-made opportunity for the Falcons' defense to generate additional turnovers, with Tampa Bay leading the NFL at 25 giveaways on the year.
