Josh Allen is no stranger to pressure. Whether it’s fourth-quarter drives, playoff atmospheres, or carrying the weight of a franchise on his back, the Buffalo Bills quarterback has made a habit of rising to the moment. But as he prepares for another high-stakes postseason matchup-this time against the Denver Broncos-there’s a new wrinkle in the storyline that stretches beyond the field.
Allen, who quietly tied the knot with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld last year in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, now finds himself balancing the demands of playoff football with the excitement of impending fatherhood. Steinfeld is expecting the couple’s first child, and while that news adds a personal milestone to Allen’s already eventful season, it’s not the only off-field headline making waves.
A resurfaced social media post from 2016 has fans talking. The post shows a younger Steinfeld decked out in Denver Broncos gear, celebrating their Super Bowl 50 victory with a spirited “HELL YEAH BRONCOS!!!!”
and a dab for good measure. It’s the kind of throwback that might raise eyebrows in Buffalo, especially with the Bills set to face the Broncos at Mile High this Saturday.
But let’s be real-this isn’t a loyalty crisis. That was nearly a decade ago, and things have changed.
These days, there’s no question where her support lies: firmly with her husband and the Bills.
As for Allen, he’s coming off another rock-solid regular season. He threw for 3,668 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while also adding 579 rushing yards and a staggering 14 rushing scores.
That dual-threat ability continues to be the backbone of Buffalo’s offense. The Bills finished the regular season at 12-5, narrowly missing out on the AFC East crown to New England, but they’re playing their best football when it matters most.
Last weekend, Allen led the Bills to a convincing road win over the Jaguars, showcasing the kind of poise and command that’s become his trademark in January. He completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and accounted for three total touchdowns. It was a performance that reminded everyone why he’s a four-time Pro Bowler and one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league.
But now comes a tougher test. The Broncos boast one of the NFL’s stingiest defenses, finishing the regular season ranked third in scoring defense by allowing just 18.3 points per game.
This isn’t a unit that gives up much, especially at home. Denver’s defense has been the foundation of their late-season surge, and they’ll be looking to make life difficult for Allen and the Bills’ offense.
Still, if there’s one thing we’ve learned about Josh Allen, it’s that he thrives when the stakes are highest. Whether it’s threading needles in tight coverage or bulldozing his way into the end zone, Allen brings a level of intensity and versatility that few quarterbacks can match. And with a trip to the next round on the line, don’t expect him to be fazed by a little social media chatter or a hostile road environment.
This weekend’s matchup isn’t just a playoff showdown-it’s a chance for Allen to further cement his place among the league’s elite. And while Steinfeld’s old Broncos fandom might be a fun footnote, there’s no doubt where her heart is now. For the Allen family, and for Bills Mafia, all eyes are on Mile High.
