Seems like the defender most likely to tackle him read it as a juke though.. typically a defender will continue running at a QB who's sliding and then jump over them or whatever, while that guy pulled up and acted like he was trying to contain.... I dunno, I don't think it was terrible.

Yep, he leans back just after he crosses the first down line, and the defender pauses just enough for Allen to shoot the gap. The guy still should have made the tackle, but it makes it much more difficult once Allen made the defender pause.
