At the moment, Josh Allen is the heavy favorite to win his first NFL MVP award. The Buffalo Bills superstar is coming off a week where he was virtually flawless against the once NFL-leading Detroit Lions, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down for what might be the league’s premier team.
Now, while Allen has been this good for a while now, it should be no surprise to learn that one person may have made him a truly unstoppable force.
I’m talking about Allen’s fiancee, acclaimed actress Hailee Steinfeld.
In a new story from The Associated Press’s John Wawrow, Allen credits Steinfeld’s love and support as one of the biggest reasons he’s having arguably his best season ever when he piggybacked on a thought from Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins.
That’s so wonderful to hear.
More from The Associated Press:
“When you’re in this world that we’re in, and a lot of people pulling at you and a lot of sources of ups and downs of a roller coaster, and you have that one stable person that you can rely on and go home and hug and get a laugh no matter what, I think that’s dope,” [Dion] Dawkins said. “And that’s what I think is going on.”
Allen didn’t deny it.
“She’s been a huge part. The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best,” Allen told The Associated Press.
Man, that’s so great.
Who knows? Maybe Steinfeld’s presence just might be what helps Allen really ground himself to lead the Bills to their first-ever Super Bowl championship later this winter. What a football love story that would be.
