    3-Time Pro Bowler Reveals He Hasn’t Watched the Super Bowl Since ‘Probably Middle School’

    The Super Bowl is the most watched television broadcast in the United States and recorded a mammoth 123.4 million average viewers last year. The number is expected to grow bigger this year, but three-time Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs doesn’t even care.

    In fact, the Green Bay Packers running back hasn’t watched a single Super Bowl since middle school.

    Josh Jacobs: ‘Couldn’t Tell You the Last Super Bowl I Watched’

    Super Bowl 59 may be the biggest day of the season for football fans across the globe, but not for Jacobs. Speaking during Friday’s episode of “The Dan Patrick Show,” the Green Bay RB said he won’t watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

    “Nah, I’m not gonna watch the game. I couldn’t tell you the last Super Bowl I watched. The last Super Bowl I watched was probably in middle school, honestly, yeah, so I couldn’t tell you.”

    Jacobs, who hasn’t featured in a Super Bowl yet, said he was cheering for the Eagles because of his teammates but admitted it would be wrong to bet against the Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

    “But obviously, I got a lot of [former] teammates that’s on the Eagles, so I’m rooting for them. But at the same time, I played against Patrick Mahomes twice [a year] basically my whole career, and I wouldn’t bet against him.”

    Mahomes and the Chiefs are chasing an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title and will be the first team in history to do so if they beat the Eagles.

    In the eight seasons since drafting Mahomes, Kansas City has set the record for the most wins in spans of three, four, five, six, seven, and eight years (including the playoffs). They can tie the most wins in a single season as well by recording their 18th win in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

    Patrick Mahomes-Led Game-Winning Drives Could Be Difference for Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

    With many of the Chiefs’ wins being tight contests, it’s no surprise that Mahomes has had to regularly lead late-game heroics. Including the playoffs, he has eight game-winning drives in 2024, tied for the most in a single season since QB starts were first tracked in 1950.

    Mahomes enters the Super Bowl tied with 2022 Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings), 2016 Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions), 2011 Eli Manning (New York Giants), and 2003 Jake Delhomme (Carolina Panthers).

    All eyes will be on Mahomes yet again as the Chiefs take on the Eagles in Super Bowl 59 and look to complete the three-peat. The PFSN Playoff Predictor win probability metric gives the Eagles a 52.8% chance to win and the Chiefs a 47.2% chance.
