Josh Allen has faced several challenges in the 2025 NFL season. Besides getting no respect despite beating Trevor Lawrence’s Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round, the Buffalo Bills star’s wife got exposed by fans ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Allen will take on Bo Nix and Co. for the second consecutive season. He eliminated the Broncos in the 2024 wild-card round with a dominant 31-7 win at Highmark Stadium. They couldn’t complete the job since the Kansas City Chiefs stopped them in the AFC championship game.
The Bills have everything in their favor to win the Super Bowl, but first, they will face the No. 1 seed in the conference. To add more fuel to the duel, fans found an old picture of his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, celebrating the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 win.
The “Pitch Perfect” star saw Peyton Manning’s final NFL game live and seemed happy to see the AFC West take down Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers to win the Vince Lombardi trophy.
CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson offered an update on the situation. Allen said he had no idea the photo became popular in recent days, but made sure he wouldn’t mention it to Steinfeld.
Asked Josh about this pic and he told me he had no idea it was floating around. Laughed and said she was probably paid to be there. And that he definitely wasn’t going to bring it up at home. 😂 https://t.co/79YzmBCdoi

The Bills posted a 12-5 record in 2025. They finished second in the AFC East behind the surprising New England Patriots (14-3). The road to the Super Bowl won’t have any stops in Buffalo, but the Bills passed the first test on Sunday.
A win over the Broncos would elevate their confidence to new heights, putting the pressure on the Houston Texans and the Patriots on Sunday. The 2024 NFL MVP is on a mission this season, but the Broncos will try to make it impossible.
