New York’s Orchard Park — Josh Allen raced

Hailee Steinfeld has also been romantically connected to Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, suggesting that Taylor Swift isn’t the only celebrity who’s developing love for football players. The couple was first seen together in New York City in May 2023, following reports that Josh and his longtime partner, Brittany Williams, had broken up. Hailee and Josh have maintained a low-key relationship ever since, with the sporadic date night.

Nonetheless, by going to Buffalo Bills games, the Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse actress *has* demonstrated her support for her new beau in more {public~ settings. That was the case with her visit on October 8, 2023, when she was seated next to Josh’s close friend and racing car driver, Daniel Ricciardo, and was sporting an enormous Bills jersey. You may be wondering how these two came to be here and how their romance started. Find out everything there is to know about the timeline of Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen’s relationship ahead

downfield past the Jets’ 40-yard line as Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir crossed the goal line and entered the end zone. Along with many other Bills players, the quarterback raced to the back of the end zone, where he shook Shakir by the helmet and gave him a firm embrace.

After the Bills defeated the New York Jets 32–6 in the third quarter, there was a celebration shortly after the halfway point. Allen and Shakir had connected for an 81-yard touchdown, the longest play from scrimmage in the NFL this season.

Normally, a huge celebration after a big touchdown would not seem like a big deal. It is a regular occurrence. But in the days preceding up to the game against the Jets, the Bills offense placed a strong emphasis on playing with enthusiasm and having fun. After sacking offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday morning, coach Sean McDermott stated he was searching for “an overall energy about our offense and confidence”.

The whole Bills squad came out with the same intensity that McDermott had hinted at in the days preceding the game, following what Allen described as “wasn’t an easy week.”

“I think our team was energetic as we needed to be and, you know, a lot of that, for better or worse, can come from the quarterback, so just making that a point of emphasis throughout the week,” Allen stated. “Let’s play this game and have some fun, like. When all is said and done, it’s football. Coming out here and playing football is, in my opinion, the most amazing profession in the globe.”

The emphasis on energy was evident as the Bills scored their most points since Week 4 and the most the Jets had allowed since December 5, 2021, with interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady in the booth and calling plays for the first time for the team.

Allen remarked, “Every season, man, has its ups and downs.” Adversity is likely to befall you. It’s your ability to overcome hardship. And occasionally a spark like this is needed to get your team going.”

With games against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs on the following week after a bye, the Bills are currently not in the running for the playoffs, but winning their respective AFC and AFC East divisions—3-5 and 2-2, respectively—was crucial to their chances of making it to the postseason.

Left tackle Dion Dawkins stated, “We needed it to get back on the train, to start the train up.” “So, we were off of the train and now we’re on the train and the train is moving.”

The 16 points the Bills scored in the first half were their second-highest since Week 4 (17 against the Buccaneers), despite hitting three field goals inside the Jets’ 30-yard line on the game’s opening three drives. Following the half, Buffalo pulled together two consecutive touchdown drives, one of which included Shakir’s touchdown.

Allen spearheaded all of it, finishing the game with 20 of 32 passes for 275 yards, three touchdowns through passing, and one interception (a deep pass downfield at the conclusion of the first quarter).

Allen led all of that, finishing with 275 yards and three throwing touchdowns on 20 of 32 passes completed, along with one interception (a deep heave downfield at the conclusion of the first half). The Jets’ four turnovers put a stop to the Bills’ six-game losing streak in the turnover department.

“I saw a little bit more of [Allen’s] personality and our offense’s personality,” McDermott stated. Furthermore, this has nothing to do with Coach Dorsey’s prior incidents. It’s more about us regaining our offensive intensity and the guys having a good time, and I think the offensive staff did a great job creating a strategy that the players could execute.

The Bills used a wide range of players when Brady called plays, including running back Ty Johnson who scored a 28-yard touchdown and second-year back James Cook who tied his season best with 17 carries (73 rushing yards plus three receptions with a receiving touchdown). One of just four Bills since 1970, rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid has been a vital component of the offense for the past five games with five or more receptions (six grabs for 46 yards).

Shakir has been a successful player for the Bills in the slot; all three of his receptions came when he lined up there. After amassing 236 receiving yards in his first four games, he has 288 receiving yards in his last four games.

Although wide receiver Gabe Davis played the most snaps of any receiver (87.3% of offensive plays), he finished without a target, while Stefon Diggs caught four passes on eight targets for 27 yards, contributing to the offensive performance.

Allen remarked, “I thought I didn’t try to force anything.” “Trusting the guys around me to make plays and that’s what we did tonight.”

Going forward, Brady’s and the Bills’ offense’s goal is to limit errors while maintaining a high level of enthusiasm and self-assurance.

The Bills have a history of thrilling victories and have benefited from solid defensive plays in spite of a range of injuries. After 11 games of the season, they are the 166th team in the league to have a plus-100-point advantage, although their six

The Bills tied for the most wins in a season in franchise history with their victory over the Jets, their fourth victory of the year by 25 points or more (1992, 2021).

Building on this momentum will be essential as they take on several higher-scoring offenses and the toughest remaining strength of the schedule, according to ESPN Analytics.

“Josh has always been that guy who will get us going, who will say something before whether it’s him or Diggs or somebody, but I mean tonight it was just nonstop,” Shakir stated. “It was enjoyable. We enjoyed playing the way we did tonight, and 17 was the leader of that, so please give him credit.”

FLORENCE, ORLANDO — The NFC defense stopped the AFC at the 3-yard line, ending the team’s hopes of winning the game.

With an aggregate score of 64-59, the NFC prevails in the Pro Bowl games.

Cornerback Jaylon Johnson of the Chicago Bears intercepted Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud’s pass intended Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen, forcing a turnover on downs with four seconds left.

Stroud completed 18 of 22 passes for 173 yards, which led all quarterbacks. The newbie blended in well with his elite comrades. Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks topped the NFC in passing with 154 yards on 15 of 21 passes.

With nine receptions for 90 receiving yards, including three receiving and one passing touchdowns, Allen was one of the standouts.

NFC receivers CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys and Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions each had three touchdown catches. Brown’s 10 receptions for 117 yards included one touchdown.

Online prison records show that Patrick Mahomes, the standout quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, had his father booked on a DWI charge on Saturday in Tyler, Texas.

Pat Mahomes had a $10,000 bond set on the charge of Driving While Intoxicated Third or More. On Sunday afternoon, he was released from the Smith County Jail.

State law states that the offense is a third-degree felony, carrying a maximum punishment of 10 years in jail if found guilty.

Just one week before his son is scheduled to play in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas against the San Francisco 49ers, he was arrested.

He was sentenced to 40 days in jail after entering a guilty plea to a prior DWI offense in Texas in 2018.

AMESBURY, Mass. — In a touching message to supporters, former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was featured in The Boston Globe on Sunday.

On January 11, the Patriots and Belichick amicably ended their 24-year relationship. Belichick had written in his full-page advertisement how much the team’s supporters meant to him, and he had mentioned this to Kraft when the two of them stood together to announce the decision.

The letter appeared on Page A3 of the newspaper, was addressed “To Patriots fans everywhere,” had a blue backdrop, and featured a photo of Belichick from one of the team’s six Super Bowl championship parades

“Nowhere in America are pro sports fans as passionate as in New England and for 24 years, I was blessed to feel your passion and power,” wrote Belichick in a letter. Although there are only six NFL teams that represent six states, Patriots Nation truly transcends all boundaries.

“You faced Foxborough’s coldest, wettest, snowiest, and windiest days with courage and determination. You also attended intense training camp practices.” Your kind letters provided advice, criticism, and ideas for imaginative plays. You watched from your seats in the stadium, online, and on TV.

“You took trips both domestically and abroad. You were the last supporters standing at rival stadiums on many an occasion. We cherished it! You provided our team with your valuable time, materials, and effort. We were grateful for it.

Raheem Morris was hired as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons after Belichick, 71, had an interview. If Belichick declines an assistant coaching position after every head coaching position is filled, 2024 will be the first season since his final year of college in 1974–1975 that he will not be coaching in the NFL in any capacity.

Billboards praising Belichick can be seen all around New England, which is another testament to his influence there.

Belichick said in his letter about how much the Super Bowl parades through Boston’s streets meant to him, partly because of the interaction with supporters.

“You flocked to Boston in their millions six times for parades that were a true two-way exchange of love and thanks. He wrote, “The pictures from those days are etched in my mind,” then became jocular.

“You might have tolerated my press conferences and fashion taste, or you might have even appreciated them. We had some incredible times together, and I really enjoyed coaching here.”

Belichick signed off by writing “THANK YOU ALL” in all capital characters, followed by “with respect and admiration.”

Henderson, Nevada Luke Getsy is anticipated to become the next offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders, according to sources who spoke with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler late on Saturday night. Hours after former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury withdrew from consideration, the report was released.

Getsy, 39, was one of at least five applicants the Raiders interviewed for the open offensive playcaller post. Getsy was fired by the Chicago Bears last month. The others included Kingsbury, former offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt of the Cleveland Browns, Mike Sullivan, the receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Chip Kelly, the coach of UCLA. While Kingsbury has been connected to the open offensive coordinator post with the Washington Commanders, Van Pelt was hired to be the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

After the Raiders averaged 19.5 points per game under former coach Josh McDaniels and interim offensive coordinator Bo Hardegree, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce stated in his reintroduction press conference last month that he expected a “minimum 24 points” from a new offensive coordinator.

The Raiders would need to score 408 points, which they have only done three times since their 2002 Super Bowl season, in order to average 24 points a game.

Pierce stated that a teacher with the ability to “adjust on the fly” during games would be required of any new offensive coordinator.

“You’ve got to be able to run the football — play-action pass,” Pierce stated. “What is the reputation of the Raiders? You mean the vertical passing game? The shots down the field are what we want to see. The exciting plays are what we want. That needs to be a creative component. You observe the movements, the shifts, and everything else that goes into it. Just recall the times when the Raiders were a formidable football team; ideally, that will be your offensive coordinator moving forward.

Just recall the times when the Raiders were a formidable football team; ideally, that will be your offensive coordinator moving forward.”

Pierce and the new general manager, Tom Telesco, like Getsy’s run-heavy approach. In 2022, the Bears had the highest rush rate in the NFL (177.3 YPG), while in 2023, they came in second (141.1).

That’s the positive.

The negative? The Bears averaged 21.2 points per game in 2022 and were 27th in the previous season (182.1) in terms of passing offense.

Getsy and Bears quarterback Justin Fields have a friendship that could make for an interesting story twist. The Raiders, who own the 13th overall draft pick and are probably going to part ways with veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, could be interested in trading for Fields. Although Aidan O’Connell, a rookie, demonstrated his ability to be a reliable backup, he was unresponsive when in the pocket.

Chicago fired Getsy on January 10th, 2024, but retained coach Matt Eberflus for the 2024–2025 season as part of a staff shuffle. After finishing 7–10, the Bears and Minnesota Vikings shared last place in the NFC North.

The Raiders, on the other hand, went 8–9, including a dull 30–12 Week 7 defeat at Chicago where injured Fields was replaced by undrafted rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent of the Bears. McDaniels was fired on October 31 as a result of the loss.

The Raiders went 5-4 and 3-1 in the AFC West under Pierce, who was elevated from linebackers coach to interim coach. On Christmas Day, the team inflicted its most recent defeat on the conference-winning Kansas City Chiefs.

Additionally, the Raiders quarterbacks only had an 80.1 quarterback rating as a unit despite scoring 357 points.
