Josh Allen's phenomenal season continues to impress as the Buffalo Bills charge toward the playoffs, and league MVP potential Josh Allen credits some of that success to his relationships. I think it's because of that.
So are his teammates.

“Josh is having fun and we're having fun watching him,” he said Wednesday.
“I don't want to hold on to the energy, but I want to say it when I have a strong woman behind me, and when I get home and everything is at peace and I'm in the right mental space to go to my phone.” A heart appears on my phone. And it just bubbles up – there’s something about it. ”
Allen seems to agree with that idea, telling the Associated Press that she's “played a huge role” in his accomplishments this season.

Josh Allen stunned as Bills beat Lions in high-scoring game
“Morale, support. When I get home, she's my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She's just the best,” he exclaimed.
Allen proposed to Steinfeld the week of Bill and his wife's breakup, and they have been dating since early 2023. But her positive influence is not just a figment of the Bills' imaginations.
Since the offer, Allen has scored 14 total touchdowns, including seven passing, six rushing and one receiving. His 37 career touchdowns tie him with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow for the NFL lead.
