"Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story" is set to begin filming this summer ... and while the plot is still under wraps and a cast hasn’t been announced just yet – fans have already speculated it could be loosely inspired by star quarterback Josh Allen's own romance with his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld.

Deshaun Watson's big question to Jilly Anais earlier this month could be a big boon for the Cleveland Browns -- and the quarterback's wallet -- 'cause Nate Burleson tells TMZ Sports he could see the engagement sparking some improved play ... and more endorsement deals.

The 29-year-old signal-caller proposed to his longtime girlfriend over the weekend ... and now that the two are promised to wed, Burleson told us out in New York City he could see Watson's game all the sudden turning around.

"I think finding a woman and locking in the right spouse can work wonders for him as an athlete," Burleson said.
