CINCINNATI —

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is back in the spotlight Tuesday after the release of a docuseries that features his highs and lows of the 2024 NFL season.

Streaming in full Tuesday on Netflix, season two of “Quarterback” follows Burrow, Detroit’s Jared Goff and Atlanta’s Kirk Cousins through the successes and bumps players face both on and off the field.

In the season’s sixth episode, Burrow talks openly about one of the biggest off-field stories last year: The burglary of his home while he was playing on Monday night in Dallas.

The documentary shows footage of Burrow walking off the field to high-fives, after Cincinnati’s 27-20 win over the Cowboys, and then shows him sitting in his locker at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium on his phone receiving news of the break-in.

“Of f—ing course this happened to me right now,” Burrow said in an interview in the documentary. “When you’re on cloud nine, something’s gonna bring you right back down. I just felt like the kind of year that it was.”

Entering that Monday night showdown with the Cowboys, in Week 14, the Bengals were 4-8 and on the brink of being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. It was their first win since Week 9.

After showing a copy of the police report from the incident, as well as voiceover of news reports, Burrow chimed back in.

“I just get uncomfortable when…my life is very public, and that comes with the job, but there’s certain parts of your life that are, like, yours,” he said. “Your house is one of those. When that gets violated, people find out where you live, all these different things.

“Not everybody’s failures at their job are in front of the whole world. It’s a very vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love it. I don’t like the other part of it.”

Burrow then disclosed another part of his life that had become viral, thanks to another show that was documenting the Bengals’ 2024 season.

“I didn’t end up getting the Batmobile,” Burrow said, citing the burglary at his home. “I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point.

“Quarterback” then cut to the beginning of the first press conference Burrow held after the burglary was made public, where he said his “privacy has been violated in more ways than one.”

From there, the show catches a conversation between him and now-former defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. He asked what the thieves got away with.

“They got all my jewelry,” Burrow said, to an expletive response by Anarumo. “But they could have stolen way worse things than that. I’m not going to cry about some jewelry. It was expensive, but it was insured.”

Anarumo told Burrow he checked the news the next morning and thought, “You gotta be f—ing kidding me.”

“That’s the only part I’m upset about,” Burrow responded. “All my business is out there.”

He added that he was contemplating a potential change of residence, with “the whole world” knowing where he lived.

“We catch a freakin’ break, and I come back to that,” Burrow said. “Brutal.”

All eight episodes of season two of “Quarterback” are streaming now on Netflix.
