Assuming a constant "engine" output power, which doesn't sound all that unreasonable, the worst case deceleration would be numerically equal, but opposite direction, to the worst case acceleration from a standing start at takeoff.

It's never that bad in practice.

There are much more exciting problems with losing an engine revolving around loss of control.
