January 2024
At the 2024 Golden Globes, a reporter asked Steinfeld how she was feeling about the night while holding up a No. 14 Bills jersey. She simply replied, “Real good,” and began to walk away, before turning back to call out, “Wrong number though!” (The No. 14 jersey is for Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, not Allen’s No. 17.)
