It is not straightforward being the supermom of two NFL stars. But Cheryl Bosa makes it do the job.
This week’s conundrum: Her sons — 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa — both have playoff video games Saturday. Timing and distance are an difficulty, although, with Nick in Santa Clara, the place the 49ers will host the Seattle Seahawks at 1:30 p.m. PT, and Joey on the opposite coastline struggling with the Jaguars in Jacksonville, Fla., at 5:15 p.m.
Ultimately, Mama Bosa had to make a decision on which video game to go to.
“I was praying that I’d be capable to get to both of those,” Cheryl explained to Ashley Adamson and Lisa McCaffrey on the “Your Mom” podcast. “Obviously, I failed to get fortunate this weekend. Ideally the next weekend, I will.
“Joey’s been hurt this year. I was at a pair of his 1st game titles, I was at the sport that he went down in, and then he’s been out for 10 or 12 weeks. I went to his to start with game back, which was two months in the past. I guess it’s just a numbers match, you know? Like, I have to have to be there for him.”
Joey registered six tackles (two for loss), 1.5 sacks and a pressured fumble in the first two video games of his seventh NFL period in advance of likely down in Week 3 with a groin damage. He was out for 13 consecutive online games ahead of returning in 7 days 17, and he however concluded the year with the sixth-most sacks and tied for the very first-most quarterback hits on the Chargers.
“I was just with Nick, we went to dinner soon after the sport on Sunday [against the Arizona Cardinals],” Cheryl said. “And I was just like, ‘Babe, I’m really sorry, but I’m going to go to Joey’s video game,’ and he’s like ‘Absolutely, Mother.’ “
