The wedding bells have barely stopped ringing, but Josh Allen is already shifting his focus to the upcoming NFL season. Energized by a roster with few weaknesses, an elite coaching staff, and top-tier talent on both sides of the ball, this could be the moment Allen and the Bills claim their long-awaited Super Bowl title.
On May 31, Allen tied the knot with fiancée and actress Hailee Steinfeld in a star-studded ceremony at a private location in California-checking off one of the quarterback’s biggest personal milestones. Now, he’s setting his sights on another elusive ring that has escaped him for eight years.

Despite being eliminated by the Chiefs four times in recent postseasons-including the 2024 AFC Championship Game-many analysts believe the Bills are trending up, while Kansas City appears to be in decline.

Athlon Sports reporter Adam Schultz noted that media and fans are beginning to lose confidence in the Chiefs. “Many see them as a weakened version of last year,” he said-no small statement considering the injury woes and inconsistency that plagued the team 2024.
Still, Schultz advised against counting them out completely. The Chiefs have won three of the last five Super Bowls, after all. But as he put it, “If there was ever a time for the Bills to capitalize on all their talent, 2025 feels like that time.”
