Shortly after the docuseries “Quarterback” was released, it became the most-streamed show on Netflix.

“Quarterback” followed the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, Vikings’ Kirk Cousins and Eagles’ Marcus Mariota through the 2022 season, and football fans have enjoyed many scenes inside the players’ homes and the mic’d-up moments on the field.

But one NFL player has absolutely no interest in watching the show: Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa.

While on “The Doug Gottlieb Show,” Bosa was asked about the docuseries.

“I’m not going to watch that. Are you kidding me?” Bosa said. “I’m going to watch that documentary on Mahomes? For what? What are you crazy? There’s 8 billion shows on TV, you think I’m going to go home and watch?

“Nothing against Mahomes, but I’m going to watch my rival, see how great he is?”

To be fair, Bosa has probably seen plenty of Mahomes highlights just by watching film of the Chiefs. Mahomes has a 7-2 career record against the Chargers and has yet to lose on the road against the Chiefs’ AFC West rival.

Bosa has 2 1/2 sacks and 12 quarterback hits in seven career games started by Mahomes.
