Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was miked up at the end of his team's Week 2 win in September 2024 against the Cincinnati Bengals as he approached Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on the field. Spagnuolo's praise of Burrow was captured during an episode of the new season of Netflix's "Quarterback" documentary, featuring Burrow, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins. The new season also features Burrow telling head coach Zac Taylor that the Bengals' effort in a win was "f------ embarrassing."

Kansas City Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo calls Joe Burrow the second-best quarterback, right after Patrick Mahomes
(Image via Getty Images: Joe Burrow) Who was the second astronaut to land on the moon? Nobody remembers. Which was the second team to almost take home the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals? Okay, which was the second team to almost win Super Bowl LIX? Of course, we all remember that the Kansas City Chiefs couldn't create their three-peat this year. But that's not the point. The point is, it's always Neil Armstrong, the Florida Panthers, and the Philadelphia Eagles that stay within the frameworks of our fragile minds. We never think about the second best. But, but, but. There's one defensive coordinator who does. Steve Spagnuolo. He thought about the second best. And he went over to Joe Burrow to let him know that he was the best! Even if he was the second best! 'You are the best in the business': Kansas City Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo praised 2-time Pro Bowler Joe Burrow in the 2024 NFL season The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season by a tough score of 25-26. When everybody was congratulating the first-best, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes , their defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, went over to heartbroken Joe Burrow and said, 'Other than our guy, you are the best in the business. I'm not saying that 'cause you are standing here. You are the best. I appreciate you. Good luck.' This little gesture must have meant so much to the CFP National Champion. When the Netflix interviewer asked Joe Burrow in the Quarterback series, 'Your mindset after that game was what?' Burrow replied, 'Onto the next one.' Steve Spagnuolo's words might have stayed with him. Stayed with him to the point of no return. His confidence was through the roof for Week 3. In his next match against the Washington Commanders, he stated, 'I felt like I really played well in that game.' NFL Insider shares a Netflix footage of Kansas City Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo's kind words for Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow On July 9, NFL Insider Ari Meirov shared a clip from the recently released Netflix series, Quarterback. It captured the exact conversation between the Chiefs' defensive coordinator and the Bengals quarterback. Dov Kleiman, a Sports Media Personality, retweeted Meirov's X post. Fans reacted to it instantly. One fan declared that Burrow was better than Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, 'He's better than Lamar. ' Another said, 'Burrow is keeping notes.' A third user called the 2-time Comeback Player of the Year a leader, 'Win, lose or draw, that's what I call a leader.'
