The Denver Broncos didn't hesitate to troll opposing quarterback Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills ahead of their AFC Divisional Round matchup Saturday.
Allen is married to award-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld, known for her roles in "Hawkeye" and "Sinners," among other films. However, previous footage from her younger days shows that she also has an allegiance to a particular football team.
That's none other than the Denver Broncos, whom Steinfeld previously supported back in the day, rocking some of their gear and posing in a highlight clip. Footage resurfaced ahead of the Broncos and Bills playoff meeting and has since become a way to try to rattle her husband, Allen.

With the game taking place at Mile High Stadium, home of the Broncos, those in charge of the large screen display focused on a camera shot of a fan holding up a photo of Steinfeld in orange Broncos gear, striking the dab pose.
The NFL on ESPN shared a look at the epic taunting job the Broncos pulled off to remind Allen of his wife's previous fandom.
Along with that photo featured in the Broncos' trolling, a video circulated online of Steinfeld performing some dance moves while wearing her Broncos gear.
As of this writing, the Bills and Broncos were all tied up 10-10, with the winner looking to move on to the AFC Championship Game and one win away from the Super Bowl. Denver entered the home game as just one-point favorites to win the Divisional Round game.
The No. 1 seed Broncos face young quarterback Bo Nix and Allen, who many believe is the best quarterback in the playoffs right now.
The one major knock against Allen throughout his impressive playing career has been his inability to reach the big game. His wife is most likely rooting for her husband, despite what the previous footage shows.
Many individuals believe this is Allen's best chance to reach the Super Bowl, with no Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson on the AFC side of the playoffs to stop him.
