Josh Allen is looking back on his offseason — and he thinks it’s a keeper!

“Yeah, that was the best night of my life honestly,” the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 29, said in the premiere of this season’s Hard Knocks, referring to his May wedding to Sinners star Hailee Steinfeld.

Then, with a smile, he added: “And my wife’s life I think. That’s what she says.”

Weeks after his wedding, in an interview with PEOPLE in June, the reigning NFL MVP slightly expanded on the details of his summer.

“I’ve golfed a lot, that was pretty cool,” he said. “I golfed at Augusta after the Masters.”

Allen then added with a smile: “I will mention that I did get married and that was the most important part. Yeah, it’s been a good offseason.”

Allen and Steinfeld, 28, walked down the aisle May 31, in an outdoor ceremony in California in front of family and friends, including his Bills teammates and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David.

The couple were first spotted out together in 2023 and later got engaged in November 2024.

Last season, Allen and his team came up just short of the Super Bowl, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship. Now, expectations are high heading into this season — particularly Allen’s.

In June, he shared what he believes needs to happen for the team and their beloved Bills Mafia to get to the next level.

“I think I kind of found myself last year having some very real talks with a lot of veteran leadership,” Allen told PEOPLE. “So the only thing that I can do is continue to work hard, continue to try to lead and be the best version of myself. Sometimes the ball rolls the other way, and that’s just the nature of the business that we’re in.”

He added, “But again, there’s still a lot of things that we can do, whether it’s working out in the offseason and developing that team chemistry and going into training camp ready to go.”

Allen continued, “So all I’m trying to do is play the best football that I can play and try to help my team and put us in good situations to win football games.”
