Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are looking for a bounce-back win in Week 11 against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bills are favored at home in the matchup of 6-3 teams that kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday on CBS.
Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, is seeking to take the next step in his career this year by leading Buffalo to the franchise's first Super Bowl win. He set out toward that goal this season with a stronger foundation in place — Allen took a similarly big step in his personal life by marrying actress Hailee Steinfeld in May.
Coming off of her biggest acting role to date in Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," Steinfeld decided to prioritize supporting her husband over her career during football season this fall. In a recent interview with Bustle , Steinfeld admitted she is thinking about sharing that family time with more than just Allen.

"When I ask her if she's thinking about kids, she replies without hesitation: 'Of course,'" Bustle's Thessaly La Force wrote of Steinfeld.
Steinfeld's confidence in her relationship with Allen underlined why the baby fever is starting to creep in .
"That inner peace that you have, that rock, that solid, consistent part of your life is indescribable," Steinfeld gushed in the interview. "I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it's the greatest thing in the world. Life makes sense. Everything makes sense. I feel like I am stepping into the version that I've always dreamed of being, having so much to do with being with [Allen]."
While Steinfeld's thoughts are now public, that does not guarantee they will be starting a family right away. Besides enjoying the Bills' season, Steinfeld has other projects on her mind in the short term, such as her first leading role in the upcoming film "Winter Games" and her weekly digital newsletter " Beau Society ."
Allen says that he and Steinfeld, 28, have been in alignment on their personal and career goals since getting married. The mutual support in their relationship serves as a positive sign that they will be on the same page if and when the time for kids eventually comes.
"To have someone that I share similar life interests with and wants in life, it's an awesome feeling," Allen said of his wife in August. "I get to support somebody as much as she supports me."
After hosting the Bucs, the Bills will be on short rest in Week 12 for a road game against the Houston Texans on "Thursday Night Football."
