“At least one Allen made it": Josh Allen mocked online as Hailee Steinfeld takes center stage in Super Bowl LX commercial

The appearance of Hailee Steinfeld in a major Super Bowl LX commercial has surprisingly become an online viral discussion point. While the actress took center stage in a State Farm commercial set to air during the NFL’s biggest night, all eyes were on her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who had ended his season weeks before the Super Bowl.
While Josh Allen sat out another Super Bowl at home, his wife was in the spotlight on the biggest stage of the sport. This has led to a flood of online commentary, with fans and pundits alike making pointed and often humorous comparisons between Allen’s Super Bowl woes and Steinfeld’s growing Super Bowl presence.

Super Bowl Commercial featuring Hailee Steinfeld sparks Josh Allen criticism and social media jokes

Hailee Steinfeld appears in the State Farm commercial called “Stop Livin’ on a Prayer,” a comedy-driven commercial that is more parody than football. Paired with comedians Danny McBride and Keegan-Michael Key, Steinfeld finds herself in an absurd insurance situation set to a comedic spin on the classic Bon Jovi song.
Not long after the preview of the commercial was released online, NFL insider Dov Kleiman shared the clip on X with a caption that many felt was a subtle jab: “State Farm has released its official Super Bowl commercial starring Josh Allen’s wife, Hailee Steinfeld. Allen is finally going to the Super Bowl.” This one sentence was enough to spark a firestorm of reactions.
Fans were quick to pile on. One popular reaction joked, “At least one Allen made it,” while others pointed out that Steinfeld’s number of Super Bowl commercials may now exceed Allen’s number of actual Super Bowl appearances.
The humor, however, is also indicative of a larger sense of frustration with Allen’s story. Allen is clearly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and has recently been named an MVP, but he has not yet made it to the Super Bowl. This is a situation that Bills fans are all too familiar with, as they have had several playoff cycles that have come tantalizingly close to the Super Bowl but have fallen just short.
When the worlds of competitive sports, celebrity culture, and championship pressure meet, stories have a way of taking on a life of their own. As Super Bowl LX draws near, Steinfeld’s commercial is already on track to be one of the most buzzed-about elements of the broadcast.
