Burrow, Cousins and Goff will be featured on 2nd season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, Atlanta's Kirk Cousins and Detroit's Jared Goff will be featured on the second season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series.
The streamer announced the series will debut in July with a promotional video released on Wednesday.
'Quarterback' debuted in 2023 and was one of Netflix's top-streamed series. Last year, NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions had the series 'Receiver,' following five wide receivers and quarterbacks throughout the 2023 season.
Burrow, Cousins and Goff had their 2024 season chronicled on and off the field.
Burrow led the league with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, but had his house broken into in December while the Bengals were in Dallas facing the Cowboys in a Monday night game. Cincinnati ended the season on a five-game winning streak and finished 9-8, but missed the playoffs.
Cousins — who also was on the first season of 'Quarterback' — signed a four-year, $180 million contract last March with the Atlanta Falcons that included $100 million guaranteed. Cousins, however, was benched as rookie Michael Penix started the final three games. Atlanta finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs after leading the NFC South late in the season.
Goff was a finalist for AP NFL Most Valuable player after he led Detroit to consecutive division titles and the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time in franchise history with a 15-2 record. Goff passed for 4,629 yards and 37 touchdowns, but the Lions were eliminated in the divisional round by Washington.

AFC Contenders Can't Sleep on Bengals
AFC Contenders Can't Sleep on Bengals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a frustrating offseason for Cincinnati Bengals fans wishing that their front office could put one foot in front of the other until they found themselves at a contract extension for edge rusher Trey Hendrickson (or common sense for rookie Shemar Stewart). Advertisement Cincinnati is certainly not immune to criticism. But it's worth remembering the moments before the Bengals were eliminated from contention a season ago. They had won in Week 18, capping off a five-game winning streak to end the season. Before that Sunday's festivities knocked them out of the playoffs, AFC teams and their fans were uneasy. Cincinnati was the hottest team in football. Quarterback Joe Burrow was playing the best football of his career. And he was so close to bringing that momentum into the playoffs, where a franchise quarterback makes anything possible. Just about everything on the defensive side of the ball went wrong in 2024, and the offense was hit hard by injuries, too. Things don't need to go great for the Bengals to be poised for a massive rebound in 2025. They merely can't be cataclysmic. Subsequently, Pro Football Focus ranked Cincinnati as one of the most overlooked teams heading into the new season. Advertisement 'One of the biggest stories of the 2025 regular season was the Bengals finding ways to lose games despite continuous heroic efforts from quarterback Joe Burrow,' Dalton Wasserman wrote. 'Burrow ranked second in the NFL in PFF passing grade, but the team's lack of balance around him on both sides of the ball prevented them from making the playoffs. 'Cincinnati lost seven of its 11 one-score games last season. The franchise was realistically only a handful of plays from having one of the best records in the league, even accounting for its plethora of flaws.' Burrow, once again, will be expected to perform like an MVP. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins back (and paid), the sport's most lethal passing-game trio is primed to explode again, especially with a below-average defense. Cincinnati is due for positive regression, both on defense and in one-score games, which Wasserman noted. Burrow can keep them in any game, and with better luck, he's bound to come out on top more often. Advertisement 'The AFC is loaded with contenders who have excellent quarterbacks,' Wasserman concluded. 'Burrow has proven time and again that he can beat any of them, including Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Cincinnati just needs to find him a little more help and execute better in big moments.' It's easy to see the Bengals in the playoffs in 2025. If fortune truly falls in their favor and they host a playoff game or two, no one would be surprised to see Cincinnati make a run.

'Lucky' Bengals Found Gem in Sixth-Round RB
'Lucky' Bengals Found Gem in Sixth-Round RB originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cincinnati Bengals struggled mightily rushing the football last season, ranking 30th with just 92.6 yards per game on the ground. Advertisement The passing ranked first, with Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase each leading the way in multiple categories. However, a more consistent run game will be important for Cincinnati to avoid being one dimensional and return to contention in the AFC. Despite this, they waited until their last pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to pick a running back. Thankfully, they found one that could make a serious impact that outweighs his draft positioning. Texas Tech workhorse Tahj Brooks was picked by the Bengals with the 193rd pick in the sixth round. He was the 19th running back off the board. Head coach Zac Taylor spoke about how the Bengals caught a break with his availability that late in the Draft. Advertisement 'For him to be there in the sixth round when we got him; we're really lucky that he fell to us at that point,' Taylor said, via the team broadcaster Dan Hoard. Brooks is coming off a historic career with the Red Raiders. Last season, he set Texas Tech's career rushing yards record, becoming the all-time leader with 4,557 yards over 56 career games played. Brooks is the only Red Raider in program history with multiple 1,500-yard rushing seasons over his career, according to In 2024, he registered 11 games with at least 100 yards rushing to set a program record. He had 23 such games in his career - another all-time best mark at Texas Tech. Advertisement He turned a program that was the poster child for the "air-raid" offense - that made Kliff Kingsbury and Patrick Mahomes famous - into a team that relied on a run-first bully-ball philosophy with Brooks in the backfield. As a late-round pick, he'll need to earn his place high on the Bengals' depth chart, but his extensive resume and durable production should allow him a solid chance to make the roster and see playing time. Despite the team's low numbers, second-year ball carrier Chase Brown emerged as a promising starter with 990 rush yards and seven touchdowns in 2024. That production came in a crucial time after Cincinnati traded longtime running back Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans before last season. Advertisement With Chase excelling in pass-catching looks in the flat and Brooks imposing his 230-pound frame in downhill rushes between the tackles, the Bengals could forge a dynamic run game this season to complement their aerial artistry.

How To Make The Best Martini, According To The Experts
The Bellflower—Chamomile Honey Martini from Tiffanie Barriere Atlanta bartender Nic Wallace recently won the title of 2025 Bartender of the Year from The United States Bartenders' Guild (USBG), an annual competition Sponsored By Diageo (the name behind brands such as Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, Bulleit and Casamigos). Wallace, who hails from Darien, Gorgia, was crowned as the winner after a three-day, five-part competition showcasing the best in class cocktail craftsmanship. 'This was my chance to represent Georgia—Atlanta, specifically—as the only competitor from the state. I had to show up and bring the South home a championship,' Wallace said. We asked him to share his thoughts on the best way to make a martini, summer cocktails and drink trends for 2025. Take note, the martini remains strong (especially when infused with espresso) and savory cocktails are on the rise. Indeed, today's martini doesn't have to be serious or even sipped after sundown according to Master Mixologist Tiffanie Barriere. Tiffanie is part of a growing movement reimagining what the martini can be: expressive, playful, and perfect for summer. Read through for more thoughts on cocktails, martinis and some award-winning recipes: What's your take on martinis and summer cocktails? Any predictions on big cocktail trends we'll see this summer? Wallace: America's love of Martinis in all varieties continues to grow at an exponential rate as we've seen with the Espresso Martini, which has been dominating that category for quite some time. I foresee that classic continuing its growth even more this summer season, especially with bars that are using the Ketel One Espresso Martini Machines. I have a few of them on site as well and they make light work of the growing demand, especially with Ketel One Vodka, or Ketel One Citroen at its core (my personal favorite of the core lineup). Aside from that, I see a big push coming for savory cocktails, and cocktails with layers of textures, flavors, and ingredients. Gin, like Tanqueray Ten, is a perfect base for savory martinis, especially when combined with local ingredients. It has such a unique blend of savory elements built into its heart such as whole citrus and chamomile that work so well with bright and aromatic ingredients. Barriere: I see savory sipping taking over, garden cocktails with heirloom tomatoes, basil, thyme, even caper brine. Folks want bright, refreshing, and sometimes layers of nostalgic memories of summer. Gin is having its full moment again, especially bottles like Tanqueray that bring citrus and botanicals to the front. Think clean, crisp, herbaceous. What ingredients are good to keep on hand for making summer drinks? Wallace: I love to keep a small collection of aromatized and fortified wines around for summer cocktails. Vermouth, white port, and sherry are some of my go-to items when making cocktails all year, but for summer cocktails they truly add an element of depth, spice, and texture that you simply cannot replicate with anything else. They pair perfectly with summer fruits and produce for accentuating flavors, and they can add acidity and tannin when needed to balance overly sweet ingredients. I've found that when incorporating these wine components with summer cocktails they can truly add a world of flavor with even the smallest amounts. Along with items such as these, keeping a fresh selection of herbs, fruit, and local honey on hand is always a great idea. Not only will the local items have a much better flavor, they support everyone around you in ways you can't expect. Barriere: Always fresh citrus, grapefruit, lemon, lime. A beautiful gin like Tanqueray. And easy homemade syrups: mint, rosemary, or even a chamomile honey. A few pantry staples can go a long way if you know how to balance them. What are some best practices for making a great martini? (e.g. Is it really necessary to chill the vodka?) Wallace: The best practices in the martini arsenal really start with the proper tools; a quality jigger, set of tins, mixing glass, and bar spoon. Aside from those, the best bases for said martinis are without question vodka or gin depending on the direction of the cocktail you're making. With a vodka like Ketel One, you have an amazing base of pot distilled winter wheat at its heart which offers an incredible texture and mouthfeel for every martini. Vodka can certainly be consumed at room temperature, but when chilled in a 'thrown' or shaken cocktail, it truly opens up with even more flavor and aromatics. Using gin in a stirred, 1:1 (or 50/50 as we say) ratio with a blanc vermouth allows the citrus heart and spice driven base to truly shine, especially when garnished with a long citrus twist at the end. As the botanicals all blend together, they accentuate each other in a unique 'push & pull' effect of flavors that make for an amazing savory martini experience, every time. Barriere: Yes, chilling the gin does matter. Everything in a martini should be cold. Use cold vermouth, stir longer than you think (I like an extra 30 seconds), and always strain into a chilled glass. Express a lemon twist or garnish of your choice over the top or dropped in depending on your mood. It's not just a drink, it's a moment. Soul of The South Preparation: Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly and strain over fresh ice a short mug. Garnish with thin apple fan. All Glowed Up Bellflower (Chamomile Honey Martini) Serve: Served in a coupe glass, garnished with a dehydrated lemon wheel or baby's breath pinned to the side
