The Buffalo Bills officially introduced Joe Brady as their new head coach on January 28. After nine years with Sean McDermott at the helm, the Bills promoted from within for Brady to take over the job.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen spoke to reporters following Brady's introductory presser. The reigning MVP gave the 36-year-old coach his full support.

Allen has a big offseason ahead, as he and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, are expecting their first child together.

After Steinfeld and Allen got married in Santa Barbara on May 31, Buffalo's most famous couple announced Steinfeld's pregnancy in December.

While attending the Golden Globes ceremony earlier this month, the 29-year-old actress debuted her baby bump on the red carpet.

Bills QB Josh Allen addressed Hailee Steinfeld's upcoming due date

After Brady spoke about how he missed the birth of one of his kids because he was coaching a game, Allen was asked if he had a plan to "map things out" for Steinfeld's expected birth this offseason.

The reigning MVP did not reveal his wife's exact due date, but he did share details on his preparation.

"To the best of our abilities," Allen answered. "I've known this for well in advance. I have siblings that have kids, I’ve got a lot of friends who have kids, I don’t know if you can plan too far in advance.

"I’m very much looking forward to that with my wife, becoming a dad. It’s something that I will take with great pride, and it’s something that we're going to figure out as we go, like everything else."

While Allen looks to finally bring a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo next season, his role as a father ranks higher than being a Super Bowl champion.

"This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life — is being a dad,” Allen said. “I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I’m looking forward to this one."
