Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen received some backlash after a video circulating on social media appeared to show the NFL star rushing ahead of Hailee Steinfeld while the duo attended Paris Fashion Week Monday.
But Allen quickly shot down any suggestion he was being less than a gentleman, explaining a wardrobe malfunction prompted his urgency.
“My pants ripped at dinner,” Allen wrote in a post on X. “Didn’t want cheeks out… I love Paris.”
The video shared on TikTok shows the couple getting out of a black car and Allen rushing out first with what appears to be a jacket tied around his waist.
After another heartbreaking loss in the playoffs, the Bills are taking the offseason by storm, and that includes adding reinforcements for Allen and creating space for more.
On Thursday, the Bills signed backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a two-year deal after he was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month after going 2-5. Trubisky reunited with Allen after previously spending the 2021 season with Buffalo.
The Bills also re-signed tight end Quintin Morris to a one-year deal Friday.
Earlier in the week, Buffalo made several cap-saving moves, including the release of safety Jordan Poyer, center Mitch Morse, punt return specialist Deonte Harty, cornerback Siran Neal and running back Nyheim Hines.

Thousands of followers of a firebrand Iraqi Shiite cleric rallied in major cities in Iraq on Friday, condemning the burning of a Quran during a protest in Sweden earlier this week. Some of the demonstrators called for expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from Iraq.
At the rallies in the capital of Baghdad and the southern city of Basra, followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, a cleric with a large grassroots following and political leader, burned Swedish flags and rainbow LGBTQ+ pride flags and chanted “”Yes, yes to Islam” and “No, no to the devil.”
Addressing the crowds in a speech in the Baghdad suburb of Sadr City, Friday prayers preacher Sayyid Sattar Batat, called on Iraqi authorities to “if necessary, expel the Swedish ambassador and cut all diplomatic relations with them.”
The protests came a day after hundreds of protesters briefly stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad.
On Wednesday, a man who identified himself in Swedish media as a refugee from Iraq burned a Quran outside a mosque in central Stockholm.
An Iraqi security official said the man was an Iraqi Christian who had previously fought in a Christian unit of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a collection of mostly Shiite militias that were incorporated into the country’s armed forces in 2016.
Swedish police had authorized the protest, citing freedom of speech, after a previous decision to ban a similar protest was overturned by a Swedish court.
The act, coming during the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, drew widespread condemnation in the Muslim world. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday suggested that the incident would pose another obstacle to Sweden’s bid for NATO membership.
Iraqi officials have called on Sweden to extradite the man who had burned the Quran for prosecution in Iraq.
The U.S. Navy detected what it suspected may have been an implosion within hours of the Titan submersible descending into the ocean to visit the Titanic wreckage.
A U.S. defense official said the Navy began listening for the Titan immediately after the vessel lost communication with the mother ship, approximately an hour and 45 minutes into its mission Sunday morning.
The official said the Navy’s top secret acoustic detection system picked sounds that were consistent with either an explosion or an implosion near where the Titan was found on Thursday.
“While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission,” the official said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The statement came hours after the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that a debris field found earlier in the day was the missing Titan submersible.
U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters that the debris was consistent with the “catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
“On behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families,” he said.
The Titan lost contact with its surface vessel, the Polar Prince, around one hour and 45 minutes into its dive Sunday morning, about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and around 400 miles southeast of St John’s, in Canada’s Newfoundland.
Inside the vessel were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush; British businessman turned adventurer Hamish Harding; father-and-son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, who are members of one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families; and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French navy officer and leading Titanic expert.

Looking for alternative search engines to Google? Here are the 37 best search engines other than Google.
As a bonus, I included several other specialty search engines that can help you find specific items like images and social media posts.
Best Alternative Search Engines
To start off our search adventure, let’s look at some general search engines beyond the top three — Google, Bing, and Baidu.
1. DuckDuckGo
Concerned about online privacy? DuckDuckGo prides itself on being the search engine that does not track or personalize your searches and results. They even offer handy visual guides on Google tracking and filter bubbling.
If you’re an iOS user, you can set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Safari. It’s also an option for Safari on macOS.
2. Ecosia
Want trees planted while you search? That’s what Ecosia does! Simply run your normal searches, and Ecosia will use its surplus income to support conservationist organizations that plant trees.
Don’t worry. You don’t have to sacrifice quality results to do good — Ecosia uses Bing and its own search algorithms.
3. Dogpile
If you want results from the top three search engines but don’t want to go to them individually, try Dogpile. Its results are pulled from the top three search engines without all the mess.
4. WolframAlpha
