Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is in good shape to start the 2024 NFL season. After defeating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, the Bills crushed the Miami Dolphins 31-10 on Thursday Night Football.

The quarterback’s girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld, cheers on Allen and the Bills. While Steinfeld stays away from the jumbotron during games, the 27-year-old actress is opening up about their relationship for the first time in her newsletter, Beau Society.

Steinfeld renamed No. 6 the Bills Society and praised the talent of her friend, whom she affectionately called “my favorite person.”

“Hi. OK, the rumors are true,” Steinfeld wrote. “Football season is back, which means a couple things. A) I get to watch my favorite guy make NFL history every week (starting at 17).” Against the Cardinals, Allen recorded his fourth game with two rushing scores and two passing touchdowns, tying Hall of Famer Steve Young’s record for most such games in NFL history. Steinfeld also paid a big compliment to the Bills fans.

“I had this whole vintage fashion thing written down for Sunday’s season opener, but I spent most of the game thinking about 1) how lucky I am to have a front row seat to the magic of JA17, the entire Bills team, and the energy in the stadium. 2) The people who make up Bills Mafia are second to none.”

Bills QB Josh Allen’s girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld vowed to tailgate this season

While Steinfeld was talking with Nick, Kai and Mike, the co-owners of Queen City Vintage, he received an invitation to join them at a Bills tailgate.

Mike said, “That’s the Buffalo thing. You go tailgating before the Bills game, you can walk out on somebody’s porch and they’ll give you a beer. Other teams tailgate in a parking lot, but we tailgate in people’s backyards. That’s what’s different here. You’re going to have to tailgate with us this season.”

Steinfeld replied, “I certainly will.”

While it may be a while before the Oscar-nominated actress is breaking tables outside Highmark Stadium, she has fallen in love with the Bills Mafia. Steinfeld, who attended nearly every Bills game last season, home and away, made sure to have the fans begging.

“To witness the most dedicated, kind and… enthusiastic people, of all ages ~ shout out to the little lady holding the sign that says ‘it’s my 10th birthday and all I want is Bill to win’ ~ showing up to support the Bills no matter the circumstances and no matter the outcome is extraordinary.”

Josh Allen complimented the Bills defense after beating the Dolphins

While Allen took the game in Week 1, the Bills’ defense played a huge role in Buffalo’s victory in Week 2. Despite being without several key starters, the defense committed three turnovers against Miami, including a pick-six. Bills running back James Cook also had two rushing scores and caught Allen’s lone touchdown pass.

Allen, who threw for just 139 yards and one score, gave the defense their flowers after the game. “I know we were really short on time of possession, and we were probably really short on total yards, but we still managed to score 31 points, and that means your defense is doing something, right? So they backed us up tonight, and we’re going to need them going forward,” Allen told reporters.

“And I’m just really proud of how guys stepped up to the plate and how they played together. You know, when you play together like that, you’re usually going to get good results.”
