Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback
Joe Burrow
is stepping into the spotlight once again—but this time, it's not just for his arm strength or leadership on the field. Burrow is one of three featured quarterbacks in Season 2 of Netflix's hit docuseries Quarterback, premiering Tuesday, alongside Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins.
The show promises a behind-the-scenes look at the game's most vital position.
Joe Burrow's comeback story and unexpected love for fossils
As the NFL prepares for the 2024 season, Joe Burrow's return from injury is one of the league's most anticipated storylines. The Quarterback series dives deep into his recovery journey, capturing the highs and lows as Burrow gears up to lead the Bengals once again. But while fans are eager to see his on-field grit, it's Burrow's off-field quirks that steal the show—especially his surprising passion for ancient fossils.
During a practice segment featured in the series, Burrow is seen enthusiastically explaining his love for fossils to Bengals coaches, even attempting to win them over with his prehistoric knowledge. The light-hearted moment has quickly gone viral, giving fans a glimpse into the personality of one of the NFL's most competitive players.
Yet the charm of Quarterback lies not just in quirky moments, but in its raw portrayal of what it takes to be an elite NFL quarterback.

Burrow, who led Cincinnati to the Super Bowl in 2021, is looking to bounce back after an injury-riddled 2023 season. Despite a valiant effort, he finished with 4,918 passing yards, 43 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, but the Bengals missed the playoffs with a 9-8 record.
Season 2 of Quarterback not only tracks Burrow's determination to return to top form, but also provides insight into his leadership, mindset, and personal life.
Alongside Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions and Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons, the series gives fans unparalleled access to three very different quarterbacks, each facing unique challenges in their careers.

IND vs ENG: Once again! India register unwanted record while chasing under 200
India's captain Shubman Gill (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) In a result that defied modern Test cricket trends, India fell 22 runs short while chasing 193 against England at Lord's on Day 5 of the third Test. Despite a gritty 61* from Ravindra Jadeja , the visitors were bowled out for 170, handing England a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. What makes this defeat even more painful is the statistical rarity of such an outcome. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Of the last 57 instances where a team was set a target below 200 in men's Tests (since mid-2019), 54 ended in successful chases. One was a draw. The remaining two were both Indian defeats: against New Zealand in Mumbai (2021, target 147) and now, at Lord's. India resumed Day 5 on 58/4 with a modest target in sight but were rocked early. KL Rahul , who scored 39, was trapped lbw by Ben Stokes, a decision reversed on review, shifting the momentum firmly in England's favour. Poll Do you think India can bounce back in the fourth Test at Old Trafford? Yes, they will win No, they will lose Rishabh Pant , visibly struggling with a finger injury, battled briefly before being cleaned up by a searing Jofra Archer delivery. Archer, back in Test whites after four years, was sensational, picking up three second-innings wickets to cap a five-wicket match haul. Stokes, too, finished with five for the game in a tireless display. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Jadeja's resistance was remarkable. The all-rounder forged late partnerships with Bumrah and Siraj, dragging India within striking distance. But the lower order eventually folded, and so did India's hopes. Earlier, both sides had posted identical 387-run first innings totals. But England's gritty 192 in the second innings proved decisive on a tricky, deteriorating surface. As India now turn their focus to the fourth Test at Old Trafford from July 23, they'll carry not just a 2-1 series deficit, but also the sting of a missed opportunity in a chase that, statistically, should have been theirs.
