- LOOK: Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix fires back at Sean Payton during heated exchange in Week 5 rout of Raiders (newsbreak.com)
Despite leading the game, the Denver Broncos experienced a tense moment on the sideline.
Rookie quarterback Bo Nix engaged in a heated exchange with head coach Sean Payton after a Broncos drive ended in a punt. The Raiders, led by quarterback Aidan O’Connell, gained momentum from the punt.
However, Nix was soon seen laughing with teammates, and Payton returned to his headset. This suggests that despite the frustration, both sides may have come to an understanding.
The scoreboard supported this notion, as Nix and the Broncos went on to increase their lead against the Raiders to 34-10.
