When the Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins 21-14 at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 18, quarterback Josh Allen’s girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld, was not in attendance.
While Steinfeld has attended nearly every Bills game this season, home and away, she had a very good excuse for missing the divisional showdown. Steinfeld was presenting at the 81st Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles that same night. The award ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton at 8:00 pm. The Bills-Dolphins matchup kicks off at 8:20 pm ET in Miami.
Walking the red carpet before the ceremony begins, Ralphie Aversa of USA Today Called Hailee Steinfeld’s name. Aversa picked up his Bills jersey and asked, “How do we feel tonight?” The Oscar-nominated actress replied, “Very good” and gave a thumbs up.
“Go Bills!” But Steffen Diggs’ no., not Steinfeld Allen’s, said Aversa. Couldn’t walk away without getting called out for grabbing 14 jerseys.
“Wrong number, though,” Steinfeld said, clearly wanting to see the number 17 on his shirt.
“I got that Josh at home!” Aversa fold. “I’m superstitious.” Steinfeld then nods, “Okay, fine.”
Steinfeld’s movie, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” was up for two awards, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Animated Motion Picture, but the Marvel film went home empty-handed.
However, Allen and the Bills did what they needed to do. By defeating the Dolphins, the Bills won the AFC East title for the fourth year in a row and took over the No. 2 seed.
Hailee Steinfeld first addressed dating Bills QB Josh Allen at the Golden Globes
It was quite an eventful red carpet for Steinfeld. While she has been dating Allen since May, Steinfeld has never publicly commented on their relationship.
Stopped talking together E! News Correspondent Keltie Knight, the “Pitch Perfect” star finally broke her silence on their relationship. While Knight tried to dispel engagement rumors, pointing to a massive ring on her right hand, Steinfeld played it cool.
“I have a cute little doe happening,” Steinfeld said, showing off the sparkly bauble. As for whether the ring had any deeper meaning, “there’s no particular reason,” she said. “I thought it was really beautiful.”
Engagement rings are usually worn on a woman’s left hand, and it would be quite a surprise if Alan chose a deer-shaped ring. The knight then asked, “What about a sporting man?” To which she replied, “Listen, what isn’t it? Now comes.”
It’s unclear if Steinfeld will attend the Bills’ next playoff game on Monday, Jan. 15. However, she did not attend the Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, where “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” won best animated feature. So, there’s a chance she’s already in Buffalo for the win-or-go-home matchup.
The Steelers-Bills wild card game was delayed by a severe winter storm
With the Bills set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card round on Sunday, January 14, Mother Nature had different plans. A massive lake effect snowstorm hit Erie County and dumped several feet of snow on Highmark Stadium.
New York Governor Cathy Hochul announced Saturday or the Steelers-Bills game will be postponed to Monday, January 15 at 4:30 p.m.
Before the game was moved, the Bills asked for help shoveling the snow at Highmark Stadium. The team posted a hiring notice offering to pay fans $20 an hour and meals in exchange for their labor.
After a delay, Bills issued another job notification. The shift starts at midnight and will be limited to the first 200 shovels that arrive. “The county and state are authorizing the public to enter the stadium to assist with snow removal to ensure the stadium is safe before it opens to the public on Monday,” the notice said.
