Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has expressed a strong desire for control and normalcy in his career, which influenced his decision to participate in Netflix’s documentary series "Quarterback." The series provides candid footage of Burrow’s frustrations with his team’s performance, including his criticism of offensive line penalties and an "embarrassing" victory over the Tennessee Titans by a 37-27 score. Burrow’s outspoken nature is highlighted in interactions with Bengals coach Zac Taylor, where Burrow openly condemned the team's mistakes. Despite these challenges, Burrow receives high praise from NFL peers, with Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo ranking him as the second-best quarterback in the league after Patrick Mahomes. Burrow also commended Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase as one of the best football players of all time, noting Chase’s triple-crown season at age 25. Additionally, Burrow’s humor and unique interests, such as his fascination with ancient fossils, have been spotlighted in the series. Statistical context shows Burrow’s historic achievement of being the first NFL quarterback to record three or more touchdown passes and over 250 passing yards in seven consecutive games last season, although the Bengals’ defense struggled in those contests, allowing over 30 points in multiple losses. Furthermore, Burrow’s former coach reacted with disbelief upon learning of a burglary incident involving the quarterback.
