Nick Bosa won't be tuning in to watch the Super Bowl LVII matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

The NFL Defensive Player of the Year front-runner, whose San Francisco 49ers were eliminated by the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game, was asked Tuesday who he thinks will win between quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes.

"That'll be a good battle that I will not be watching," Bosa responded.

Bosa did offer some praise of Hurts, though, describing the Eagles signal-caller as "deceptively strong."

Super Bowl LVII will mark Hurts' first appearance in the big game and will be the third appearance in four years for Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Mahomes finished the regular season with a league-leading 5,250 passing yards - a career high for the 27-year-old - and 41 touchdowns. Hurts also posted a career high in passing yards with 5,250 and threw for 22 touchdowns.
