Josh Allen is getting ready for one of the most crucial matches of his career as he leads Buffalo Bills against the Denver Broncos for a Divisional round clash. Bills Mafia is expected to flood Empower Field at Mile High, turning the road game into a near neutral site. Yet the attention is not limited to the field. Much of it is drifting toward the luxury suites and whether Allen’s pregnant wife, actress
Hailee Steinfeld, will be watching in person.
Her presence matters because Steinfeld’s loyalty has become a talking point. She missed Buffalo’s January 11 road win over Jacksonville, but that absence came with context. She was attending the Golden Globes. With the stakes now higher and Denver as the opponent, curiosity has only grown louder.
A forgotten Hailee Steinfeld tweet is fueling playoff drama as Josh Allen and the Bills chase postseason glory
Hailee Steinfeld’s past connection to the Broncos is no secret. Raised in California, she supported Denver long before meeting Allen. That history resurfaced this week when an old image from the 2016 playoffs began circulating again. Several social media handles reposted a photo of Steinfeld at a Broncos game after their Super Bowl win, paired with her enthusiastic caption, “HELL YEAH BRONCOS!!!! 💥”.
The timing lit up social media. Broncos fans embraced it. Some Bills supporters bristled.
A few reactions turned sharp, while others urged perspective. “Feed her to the pit,” said one Bills fan. Another offered a calmer take, writing, “Just because you marry someone who plays/supports another team doesn’t mean you change your allegiance, you can like them both after, but you never forget your first love.”

Steinfeld’s career often pulls her into the spotlight, whether through “True Grit,” “Hawkeye,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, or “Sinners.” Since she and Allen went public in 2023, she has also become a familiar face at Bills games. The couple married in May and announced on Dec. 12 that they are expecting their first child.
On the field, Allen has given Buffalo every reason to believe. He followed his 2024 MVP campaign with another elite season in 2025, completing 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns, while adding 579 rushing yards and 14 scores. He was poised in Buffalo’s 27-24 Wild Card win over Jacksonville, accounting for three total touchdowns.
Now comes a stern test. Denver allowed just 18.3 points per game, ranking third in the league. As kickoff approaches, the storyline blends football, fandom, and family. Steinfeld may smile at an old memory, but there is little doubt where her heart sits now.
