Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen catches a stray as Hailee Steinfeld’s Super Bowl commercial debuts online
Well, that was uncalled for.
While the Buffalo Bills, sadly, won’t play for a Super Bowl on Sunday, that doesn’t mean the Allen family isn’t joining in on the festivities.
Josh Allen’s wife, Hailee Steinfeld, is as elite an actress as Allen is a quarterback, as evidenced by her recent smash hit “Sinners,” which was nominated for a host of awards during the movie award season. In fact, Sinners set an all-time Oscar record with 16 nominations. From Best Picture to Best Score, she left her mark on the movie industry.
Steinfeld has over 60 credits on IMDb for her acting career, including four as a producer, four as a composer, one as a writer, and one as a director. It should be to no one’s surprise, then, that a superstar actress was getting jobs to act in a Super Bowl commercial.
The commercial was released on X (Twitter) ahead of its debut at the big game, and fans were quick to attack the actress because her husband wasn’t playing in the Super Bowl.
The commercial is great, but one comment in particular was more than a little lame.
Hailee Steinfeld’s commercial draws criticism for Josh Allen
BetMGM just has to do better than this. Their comment, on the official X (Twitter) account, was that Hailee was playing in a Super Bowl on Sunday before Josh Allen. While true, it’s just a low blow.
Bills Mafia knows, thank you so much for that reminder, BetMGM.
Allen is one of the very best playoff quarterbacks in NFL history, who has never played in the big game, and this year was another example of the refs taking it out of the Bills’ hands and handing it to another team. I will die on the hill that wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught the football, and the Bills should be playing in the Super Bowl.
Yes, I know that the team would’ve had to take care of business against the Patriots, but they would have.
This wasn’t about a commercial, an actress, or even a sportsbook trying to be clever. It was another reminder of how thin the margin has been for Allen and the Buffalo Bills and how close the franchise has come, year after year, to finally breaking through.
Bills Mafia doesn’t need jokes or reminders from BetMGM. They know the pain. They know the near-misses. And they also know that Allen remains one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the postseason, who still hasn’t gotten his Super Bowl moment.
As for Hailee, she did her job well. The commercial landed. The criticism didn’t. If anything, it just added more fuel to a fan base that’s already counting the days until Buffalo gets its chance to silence everyone the hard way, on the football field.
