Hailee Steinfeld might not have been in uniform on Monday night, but she was undoubtedly the Buffalo Bills’ biggest cheerleader — especially when it came to her quarterback husband, Josh Allen, leading his team to victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
The Sinners actress was captured bringing the biggest fan energy in the stands as Allen helped lead Buffalo to a thrilling 37-34 overtime win at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Monday. And judging by her reaction to one of her husband’s biggest plays of the night, she was just as invested in the game as anyone that was on that field.

In a video shared by the NFL on Prime Instagram account, Steinfeld can be seen cheering enthusiastically from a suite as Allen made a crucial 15-yard scramble up the middle late in the fourth quarter, bringing the Bills within 5 yards of the end zone.
“Go Josh! Let’s go, Josh! Lets f—ing go!” she appeared to shout as her husband made his move. Wearing a red Bills jacket, the actress broke into a smile and clapped excitedly after the play, making it clear that Allen had at least one very enthusiastic supporter watching his every move.
And Allen definitely set off a celebration: The result was the first overtime win for Allen, who previously went 0-7 in such games earlier in his career. “It’s the first OT that I’ve got, so this feels good being on this side [of a win],” Allen said after the game, per ESPN.
The quarterback admitted that he struggled to find his rhythm early in the game, but felt more comfortable as the second half progressed. With his teammates stepping up when it mattered, Buffalo ultimately came away with the win.
While Steinfeld typically attends her husband’s games, she tends to stay out of the television cameras’ view, which makes Monday’s glimpse of her enthusiastic support a treat for fans of the couple.
The two married in May 2025 and welcomed their first child together, daughter Harper Haize Allen, in April. Since becoming a father, Allen has also opened up about how parenthood has changed his perspective on football.
“I love being a dad,” he told People in July. “I’ve said this in a few different interviews in Buffalo, of why my ‘why’ has changed and why I’m doing this, and it’s not a personal ‘why’ anymore,” he said, explaining how his motivation has shifted since welcoming his daughter.
Steinfeld has similarly opened up about how motherhood has changed her for the better. In the June edition of her Beau Society newsletter, Steinfeld reflected on how raising her daughter has made her think differently about self-love. “One of the most unexpected things I’ve learned from my daughter is the importance of modeling unconditional self-love,” she wrote, explaining that the way she sees herself will influence how her daughter sees herself, too.
