Was Josh Allen trying not to look like a perv, or just bored?

Allen is married to actor Hailee Steinfeld, and many assumed he was being even more careful because of his high-profile relationship.

Comments on social media posts include:

"Giving assholes nothing to talk about."

“He's being a good husband.”

“Only has eyes for his wife.”

Was Josh Allen simply bored by interview?

But there were some viewers who gave him the benefit of the doubt.

“Post game interviews are irritating as hell, just wanted to get back to his team,” one person wrote.

“It's an obligation to do these things, not what a player wants to do straight after a game,” another said.

And one asked, “Why do we need to assume he finds her attractive and isn't just exhausted or amazed by the crowd?"

What do you think?
