Chiefs' Steve Spagnuolo in crosshairs of Bills, Ravens, and Eagles fans after Joe Burrow comment captured in 'Quarterback' goes viral

Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo complimented Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow during their Week 2 (2024 season) matchup, captured by microphones for the Netflix series "Quarterback." After Kansas City's 26-25 victory, Spagnuolo told Burrow, "Other than our guy, you're the best in the business," adding, "I'm not saying that 'cuz you're standing here." This statement gives Burrow significant praise above other top quarterbacks.

Spagnuolo's comment has drawn attention, particularly from fans of the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Philadelphia Eagles. These fans are likely to dispute the remark, as their respective quarterbacks – Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts – are also frequently discussed among the NFL's elite players.

The compliment carries weight due to Spagnuolo's respected status as one of the NFL's top coaches. It also highlights the compelling rivalry between Burrow and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, noting that Burrow currently holds a 3-2 head-to-head record against Kansas City.

While the Chiefs and Bengals are not scheduled to play each other again in the regular season until 2027, the possibility remains that the two star quarterbacks could face off sooner if their teams meet in the playoffs.
