The Denver Broncos<\/a>, coming off their bye week as the No. 1 seed in the conference, face a tough challenge against Josh Allen and the No. 6 Buffalo Bills<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This game might be the weekend’s highlight at Mile High. Allen, who guided his team to a wild-card victory over the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, now hopes to succeed in a game he has struggled with in previous years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is publicly known that Allen is married to Actress Hailee Steinfeld, and Steinfeld has been nothing but supportive of Allen and the Bills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, after some previously surfaced photos of Steinfeld from 2016,\u00a0fans are now questioning her rooting interest in the divisional-round matchup.<\/p>\n

The Sporting News has all you need to know about whether or not Steinfeld is a Broncos fan.<\/p>\n

Hailee Steinfeld a Broncos fan?<\/p>\n

While it’s currently more likely that Steinfeld’s rooting interests lie with her husband’s team, there is evidence she once rode with the Broncos’ country.<\/p>\n

With some resurfaced pictures from the 2016 Super Bowl, it’s clear Steinfeld was rooting for the Broncos over the Carolina Panthers<\/a> in SB50.<\/p>\n

Steinfeld and Allen married in May 2025\u00a0and have since announced they’re expecting their first child together.<\/p>\n

Steinfeld can be seen hitting the dab, which could be a reference to Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.<\/p>\n

At the time, Newton was the face of the league and constantly showed off dance moves and celebrations, like the dab, when he scored.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steinfeld posted this\u00a0to social media, celebrating the Broncos’ win over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50.<\/p>\n

When asked about it by CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson, Allen laughed it off and stated that she was probably paid to be there.<\/p>\n

Asked Josh about this pic and he told me he had no idea it was floating around. Laughed and said she was probably paid to be there. And that he definitely wasn\u2019t going to bring it up at home. \ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/79YzmBCdoi<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Tracy Wolfson (@tracywolfson) January 15, 2026<\/a>Where is Hailee Steinfeld from?<\/p>\n

Steinfeld was born and raised in California and appears to have no ties\u00a0to the state of Denver or the NFL organization itself. It’s unclear why she would’ve supported the Broncos in 2016.<\/p>\n

However, it’s reasonable to say she’ll be rooting for her husband and the future father of her child come Saturday. Allen and the Bills will take on the Broncos for a chance to head to the AFC Championship.<\/p>\n
