Raiders getting production out of no-huddle

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen likes the production his team is getting out of the no-huddle offense.

The Raiders scored two touchdowns and a field goal running the no-huddle against Jacksonville on Sunday, when they overcame a 14-point deficit in the third quarter to beat the Jaguars in overtime 26-23.

It was the second game this season in which quarterback Carson Palmer has engineered a fourth-quarter comeback. Both times he did it while running the no-huddle.

The question for Allen is how much is too much?

Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp continues to be criticized for his play-calling. The running game is barely showing signs of life. Pass protection for Palmer has been shaky at best.

Yet Allen isn’t ready to commit to the no-huddle full-time.
