Josh Allen has a divisional-round showdown on deck this Sunday, but it’s not just the Broncos defense making headlines-his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, is in the spotlight too.
A photo of Steinfeld sporting a Denver Broncos jacket and hitting a dab pose at a stadium is making the rounds on social media. The image, originally posted in February 2016, dates back to Super Bowl 50-when the Broncos took down the Panthers 24-10 at Levi’s Stadium to cap off Peyton Manning’s legendary career with a ring. Alongside the photo, a video clip of Steinfeld dancing in the same Broncos gear has also resurfaced, adding fuel to the lighthearted buzz.
Naturally, fans were curious what Allen thought about his wife’s throwback allegiance to Buffalo’s upcoming opponent. CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson shared that when she asked Allen about the viral photo, he laughed it off, saying he had no idea it existed and joked that Steinfeld was “probably paid to be there.” He added that he wasn’t planning to bring it up at home-smart move with a playoff game looming.
Allen and Steinfeld’s relationship has moved quickly since they began dating in 2023. They went public in July 2024 with an Instagram post from Allen that featured the couple together.
Just a few months later, in November, they announced their engagement and tied the knot in March 2025. And now, the couple is expecting their first child, with the announcement coming just last month.
But off-field headlines aside, Allen’s focus is squarely on Sunday’s playoff clash with Denver. The Bills are coming off a gritty 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round, and Allen was the driving force behind it.
With just over a minute left in regulation, he delivered a game-winning touchdown that not only sealed the victory but also reminded everyone why he was named the 2024 NFL MVP. He finished the day completing 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and three total touchdowns-a near-flawless performance under postseason pressure.
Now comes the real test. The Broncos, led by head coach Sean Payton, are no pushover.
And former Pro Bowl defensive end Cam Jordan knows it. During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Jordan said this might be Allen’s best shot at a Super Bowl run-especially with no Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson standing in the way.
“If there is a year to win it, this is the year,” Jordan said. “No Joe Burrow, no Lamar, no Pat Mahomes-the AFC that’s normally been in the playoffs the last seven years isn’t here. But now you have to have the Denver Broncos conversation.”
And that conversation is real. The Broncos have found their rhythm late in the season and will be looking to spoil Allen’s MVP campaign.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+, with a trip to the AFC Championship on the line.
So while the internet has its fun with Steinfeld’s vintage Broncos moment, Allen has his eyes locked on something much bigger-a chance to bring Buffalo one step closer to that elusive Lombardi Trophy.
