A forgotten tweet adds sudden tension.

Josh Allen’s wife, Hailee Steinfeld, is all over again just days before Saturday’s playoff game, and Bills fans did not love the reason.

Fans dug up an old social media post where Steinfeld cheered for the Denver Broncos. The timing upset some Bills fans since Buffalo is set to play Denver with a spot in the AFC Championship Game at stake.

Allen and Steinfeld have grown into one of the most talked-about couples in sports and entertainment. Fans often compare their popularity to that of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Many fans believed Steinfeld fully supported the Bills now. That idea changed when the old post resurfaced online. A few days ago, she also faced criticism for missing Allen’s big playoff game against the Jaguars.

The post dates back to Super Bowl 50 in 2016. Steinfeld attended the game wearing a Broncos jacket. Denver beat the Carolina Panthers in Peyton Manning’s final NFL game. After the win, a 19-year-old Steinfeld posted on X, then known as Twitter, “H*** YEAH BRONCOS!!!!”

The tweet spread fast across football social media. It added tension to a playoff game already expected to come down to the final minutes.

Fans React As Steinfeld’s Old Loyalty Resurfaces

Bills fans reacted first and reacted loudly. Many pushed back online as screenshots of the post made the rounds.

“DELETE THIS NOW,” one Bills fan wrote.

Another added, “Hailee this needs to go.”


A third wrote in all caps, “HAILEE DELETE THIS NOW!!!” Fans shared the comments widely on X.

Broncos fans embraced the moment. Some welcomed Steinfeld back as a lucky charm. “Thanks for the support, Hailee,” one fan posted.

The game means a lot for both teams. Denver enters as a slight 1.5-point favorite, making it the closest matchup of the Divisional round.

If the Broncos win, they will reach the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2015. That was the same Super Bowl Steinfeld attended. Denver would also host the title game.

If the Bills win, they will reach the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row. It would be their third trip since 2020. Buffalo would then travel to play the winner of Sunday’s Texans vs. Patriots game, which is already in the news because of severe weather concerns.

Steinfeld has not commented on the old tweet. For now, it’s sure that past fandom can resurface, especially during January.
