This is great news for Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen.
Buffalo Bills superstar QB Josh Allen announced major personal news on Friday.
Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, are having their first child together.
Allen and Steinfeld got married in May. The 2024 NFL MVP told ESPN this fall that he has a new appreciation for his personal life after spending his offseason with loved ones.
"Obviously, I love my job. I think it's extremely important," Allen said. "I do everything that I can to win games and help our team win, but the family aspect in being a good person and all that other stuff, I think that's, if not just as important, if not more, than playing our game and what we do.
"It's weird for me to say that because football is the only thing I've ever truly like, wanted to do. ... It's the only thing that like I care about in my life more than anything. And knowing that there's more in life, it's ... I don't know, I think as you get older, you start to realize that, but don't get it twisted, I still care, probably an obnoxious amount about this game and trying to bring a Lombardi [Trophy] here to Western New York, and it's the only goal that I have in my work career."
The Bills are 9-4 and Allen is once again putting up stellar numbers. The future Hall of Famer has 3,083 passing yards, 22 passing touchdowns, 487 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.
Buffalo has four games left in the regular season. Allen and Co. face the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets.
Allen has won the AFC Offensive Player of the Week Award three times this season. The Wyoming product is the first player in NFL history to throw a passing touchdown and run for a score in 50 games.
"It comes down to guys executing and making plays," Allen said after the Bills beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. "Sometimes, you've got to play bigger for other people. All we had to do was score one more point than they did. Didn't matter how we did it. Didn't matter how good or bad it looked. We've just got to continue to find ways to win football games."
