Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a memorable week, joining wife Hailee Steinfeld in announcing their first baby on the way and then a few days later leading his team to a record-setting comeback.
Allen was nearly perfect while leading the Bills to a 21-point comeback in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. After putting the finishing touches on the 35-31 victory, Allen sent a heartfelt message to Steinfeld.
Josh Allen Shares Love With His Wife
In an interview on the field after the game, Allen was asked about teammate Dawson Knox welcoming his first child and the announcement of his first child on the way. While the Bills quarterback pushed aside any idea that it could have sparked the win, Allen had a special message for his wife.
âI don’t know about that. I’m obviously very happy and very blessed,” Allen said. “I love my team. I love my wife. She’s my favorite teammate.â
Steinfeld announced the pregnancy on Friday, revealing it in her Beau Society newsletter by sharing a video of Allen kissing her stomach.
âAs I step into my 29th year as a softer, stronger version of myself, I want to appreciate some of my favorite moments from this year, both big and small,â Steinfeld wrote in a list of things she was grateful for on her 29th birthday. â29. This videoâ¦â
The couple announced their engagement in November 2024 and tied the knot in May.
Allen praised his wife earlier this season, telling ESPN’s Marty Smith that he’s looking forward to his future with her.
âSheâs everything I need in my life,â Allen said. âGetting married was the coolest, it was the most important day of my life. I get to understand that what I do is not normal, but Iâd also be content with a different part of my life, however that may have looked.â
Bills Score Big Victory for Playoff Hopes
The Bills went into Sunday’s game facing potential elimination in division contention. A win by the Patriots would have clinched their first AFC East title since the departure of Tom Brady after the 2019 season, but instead the Bills gave themselves life for the final three weeks of the season.
Allen said after the game that the Bills have plenty of fight in them. Allen led the team to victories when facing a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens and a 10-point deficit in the fourth in last week’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
âNo matter what the score is, if itâs in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter, whatever it is, if weâve got a chance and weâve got the ball, we feel like we like our chances,” Allen said.
The Bills can now win the AFC East by winning one more game than the Patriots the rest of the way and the Patriots losing to either the New York Jets or Miami Dolphins.
Even if that doesn’t happen, the Bills are now close to clinching a wild-card berth. The Athletic gives the Bills a greater than 99% chance to reach the postseason,
