Although Buffalo Bills defensive back Christian Benford is not playing on the same unit on the field as superstar quarterback Josh Allen, he is still very familiar with the signal-caller.
He even has an opinion about the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player when it comes to Allen’s relationship with fiancée Hailee Steinfeld.
Via TMZ Sports:
We caught up with Buffalo’s star cornerback on Friday — and with Steinfeld dominating the box offices with her new “Sinners” flick, we had to ask how her two-year-long relationship with Allen has impacted his quarterback.
Benford told us he’s noticed a much more jovial signal-caller — explaining, “You could say he’s happier. You know what I’m saying?”
“Go home to a woman that he loves — a woman that he’s happy with.”
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills still chasing the elusive Super Bowl
Allen, who will be turning 29 years old on May 21, has seemingly everything there is to make him happy –except for one. He and the Bills are still chasing a Super Bowl title, something they have been close to achieving ever since his emergence as one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
The Bills have been in the playoffs in each of the last six seasons, including in the 2024 campaign, where they made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game only to lose to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs – again.
In 2024, Allen threw for a total of 3,731 passing yards and 28 touchdowns with only six interceptions before winning the NFL MVP and signing a massive six-year, $330 million contract extension with the Bills.
