The Buffalo Bills may have fallen short of a Super Bowl appearance in the 2024 NFL season, but their dominance in the AFC East remains undisputed.
And if you ask Josh Allen’s fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld, she’ll remind you of that in the most entertaining way possible.
During a recent interview with WhoWhatWear, the 28-year-old actress and singer participated in a “Truth or Wear” game, where she was prompted to name the four teams in the AFC East.
Without missing a beat, she delivered a sharp yet humorous response.
“Name the four teams in the AFC East division,” Steinfeld said before answering: “You’ve got the Buffalo Bills and the Bills’ three sons.”
The playful jab at the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins quickly went viral, earning praise from Bills fans who have grown accustomed to their team’s dominance in the division.
The numbers certainly support her statement.
The Bills captured their fifth consecutive AFC East title in 2024, finishing with a 13-4 record and going 5-1 in division play.
Their lone division loss came in Week 18 against the Patriots, a game in which Buffalo rested key starters, including Allen, in a 23-16 defeat.
Needless to say, some fans weren’t too pleased with Steinfeld’s shot and were quick to remind her of Buffalo’s failings in the postseason…
“Interesting how every single one of those “sons” are Super Bowl winners…the father? Not so much.”
“I like that she held up 4 fingers, one for every loss the Bills have had in the Super Bowl.”
“Bills are the regular season champions. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.”
“Did she also happen to mention his DADDY PATRICK MAHOMES.”
Despite the playoff disappointment, Josh Allen, who won the 2024 NFL MVP award, has kept Buffalo firmly atop the AFC East pecking order.
The Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game last season, only to be eliminated by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
While Buffalo is still searching for its first Super Bowl title, there’s little doubt that the team remains a major contender heading into 2025.
And if Steinfeld’s viral moment is any indication, Bills Mafia is more than happy to embrace their continued reign over the division.
Having said that, we all know that for Allen to truly become an all-time great, he’s going to have to win a Super Bowl or two.
What are your thoughts on Steinfeld’s shot at the AFC East???
