Josh Allen is crediting Hailee Steinfeld for his winning ways!
The Buffalo Bills quarterback — who announced with his wife on Friday, Dec. 12 that they are expecting a baby — led his team from 21 points down to beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 14.
Of course, Steinfeld wasn’t on the field, but Allen shared that her impact on his life played a role in the dramatic win.
“I love my wife, she’s my favorite teammate,” Allen, 29, said after the game, when he was asked about whether the baby news — and that of Bills’ tight end Dalton Knox also becoming a father last week — was extra motivation.

The breaking baby news was also not exactly that for the signal-caller.
“I’ve known for a long time, so it’s not that crazy to me,” Allen told the media following the 35-31 win. “You know it’s a really cool, special moment in my life and my wife’s.”
The couple — who were married in May in a Santa Barbara, Calif. wedding attended by family and friends, including his Bills teammates and Curb Your Enthusiasm alum Larry David — announced their baby news jointly on social media.
Steinfeld also shared the pregnancy news in her Substack newsletter, sharing a round-up of her 29 favorite moments from the past year in honor of her 29th birthday.
At the end of her list, the Sinners star included a video which announced her pregnancy. The actress could be seen posing in the snow with her pregnant belly out as Allen kissed her stomach. They could then be seen smiling and posing together as the star wore a sweater that read "Mother."
When the video concluded, it panned out to reveal the two holding hands in front of a tiny snowman.
The Bills’ come-from-behind victory on Sunday was not the team’s first such win this season.
In September, they pulled off a major comeback to beat the Baltimore Ravens — and, at the time, Allen called out fans who left Highmark Stadium before the game was over.
"Our team didn't quit," Allen said on the field after their 41-40 win. "I mean, I think there's people that left the stadium, that's okay, we'll be fine but, have some faith next time."
Allen told reporters afterwards that the comeback victory for the Bills "took everybody" on the field.
"I'm just proud of our team for staying in it," the quarterback said at the time. "No one on the sideline blinked. I mean, down 15 points, whatever we were with five, six minutes left."
