Steve Spagnuolo - English
A moment captured between Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and Joe Burrow during the 2024 NFL season is making waves after it was featured in season two of Netflix’s “Quarterback.”
The candid exchange-caught following the Chiefs’ thrilling 26-25 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, has triggered fresh debate among fans and added fuel to the ongoing quarterback rivalry between Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and the rest of the league’s elite.
After the narrow win at Arrowhead Stadium, cameras caught Spagnuolo approaching Burrow to deliver a message that has since gone viral: “Hey, other than that guy [Patrick Mahomes], you’re the best in the business.”
Coming from one of the NFL’s most respected defensive minds, it was a statement loaded with both respect and subtle competitive fire.
Spagnuolo’s comment draws mixed reactions
The internet quickly lit up with reactions to Spagnuolo’s words. While some fans took it as genuine praise-acknowledging Burrow‘s consistency and poise-others felt it was a backhanded compliment, especially coming after a bitter defeat.
As one fan put it, “That’s kinda funny by Spags lol, who wants to be told they are 2nd best after a terrible loss. In my opinion it’s a pretty big compliment though.” Another chimed in, “Other than that guy Burrow must’ve felt awful.”
Some on social media questioned Spagnuolo’s quarterback rankings, pointing out other stars in the AFC: “Does he not know Josh Allen????” wrote one user.
Others brought up Burrow’s track record against division rival Lamar Jackson, or referenced Burrow’s impressive record against Mahomes and the Chiefs in previous seasons.
“Funny cause he can’t even beat this other guy in his division named Lamar. Lamar >> AFC Jared Goff and it’s not close,” said another commenter.
It’s worth noting that Burrow has posed a significant challenge for Kansas City since his arrival in the league.
The Bengals’ quarterback famously led his team past the Chiefs in the 2021 AFC Championship Game, and Cincinnati won the first three meetings between the two franchises with Burrow under center.
The Chiefs finally snapped that streak in the 2022 conference title game, but Burrow’s steady hand was again on display in their 2024 regular-season clash, throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.
Burrow, Mahomes, and the never-ending debate
Despite the friendly jab, Spagnuolo’s praise for Burrow is not insignificant. While Mahomes remains the gold standard, Burrow’s success against Kansas City and his reputation as one of the league’s most composed and clutch passers keeps him near the top of any quarterback conversation.
Yet, for Burrow, hearing he is “the best in the business-except for that guy” may be little consolation after a razor-thin defeat.
Unfortunately for fans of this burgeoning rivalry, the 2025 regular-season schedule does not feature a Chiefs-Bengals matchup, meaning the next chapter in the Mahomes vs. Burrow saga may have to wait until the postseason.
For now, the viral clip from Netflix’s “Quarterback” has reignited debates about the NFL’s quarterback hierarchy, sparking arguments in living rooms and on social media feeds across the country.
One thing is certain: as long as Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson continue to battle for AFC supremacy, conversations like these will only grow louder.

2025 MLB Home Run Derby: Junior Caminero joins field of James Wood, Cal Raleigh, Ronald Acuña Jr. and more
Tampa Bays Rays young slugger Junior Caminero is the latest to confirm his participation in the upcoming 2025 Home Run Derby. MLB announced the news on Wednesday, which means just two spots remain in the eight-player Derby field. Caminero, who just turned 22 mere days ago, leads all major-league third baseman with 21 home runs this season. He's slashing .252/.294/.496 in this, his second MLB season, and he's not far removed from a 2023 campaign in which he hit 31 homers in 117 games across two minor-league levels.
