Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix appeared to come to blows with his head coach Sean Payton in Sunday’s game against Las Vegas Raiders.
The rookie appeared to be furious with the call to punt in a drive in the third quarter.
Nix could be seen in animated discussion with Payton with his helmet still on. Broncos assistants could be seen intervening, appearing to tell Nix to walk away.
Despite his fury, Nix and the Broncos were having a good game and were leading 20-10 at the time of the incident.
Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel praised Nix for standing his ground against Payton, writing on X: ‘I actually love this from Bo Nix.
‘Sean Payton’s going to get heated on the sideline but if you really believe you’re right…give it back. Shows how competitive they both are.’
Ryan Clark also wrote on X: Bo Nix talking to Sean Payton how Sean Payton used to talk to Russell Wilson! My how the tables have turn.’
And moments later, Nix went out and threw a dime to Josh Reynolds for his first Broncos touchdown, extending the team’s lead by seven.
