Josh Allen’s MVP hopes and moment of neglecting practice with Hailee Steinfeld raise eyebrows as Bills clash with Jets

The Bills have already clinched playoff spot

As the Buffalo Bills approach their Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets, all eyes are on quarterback Josh Allen.

The game offers more than just the opportunity to solidify the Bills’ position in the postseason – it also serves as a key moment in Allen’s pursuit of the MVP award.

With the Bills already locked into the playoffs, securing a win against the Jets would guarantee them the No. 2 seed in the AFC, which could provide a significant advantage as they look toward a Super Bowl run.

Allen’s Pursuit of the MVP and Franchise Milestones

Allen has been a standout performer for Buffalo this season, compiling 3,549 passing yards, 26 touchdowns through the air, and 11 rushing touchdowns.

He’s already cemented his place as one of the league’s premier quarterbacks, but a victory over the Jets could bring even more personal recognition. Should Allen score a rushing touchdown in the game, he will tie Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas for the most rushing touchdowns in Bills history, with 65 total touchdowns.

This achievement would add to the list of accolades for the 28-year-old signal caller, who has already established himself as a dual-threat quarterback.

However, despite the possibility of breaking records, Allen is keeping his focus squarely on the team’s success. When asked about his MVP candidacy, he emphasized his dedication to the Bills’ overall goals.

“The only good takeaway [is] that I feel like [it] means your team’s in a position to make the playoffs and give yourselves the chance to win the Super Bowl,” Allen explained. “That’s really all I care about.”

Off the field, Allen is experiencing another personal milestone-his engagement to actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. The couple recently announced their engagement, and while their relationship had previously been kept under wraps, they have since opened up about their romance.

Steinfeld shared a simple yet heartfelt message in the latest edition of her newsletter, Beau Society, offering her fans a brief holiday greeting.

“Happy holidays, with love and gratitude,” Steinfeld wrote.
