Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix gets heated with coach Sean Payton on the sideline after failing a deep pass to rookie wide receiver Troy Frankin in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. I had a moment.
Below is a sample of how Twitter/X responded to the sideline altercation.

Bo Nix and Sean Payton are actively talking with the rest of the Broncos’ WRs on the sideline.

That caused frustration. #Broncos Side job. Bo Nix was hot. So was Troy Franklin. Sean Payton came in and seemed to have some words for the Knicks.
Courtland Sutton plays Peacemaker.

Bo Knicks yelling at Sean Payton doesn’t seem like a wise move

Bo Nix calling out Sean Payton like that is exactly what you want to see. Love it since the rookie.

Nix threw a deep pass into the end zone, but Franklin dropped it. Knicks and Payton exchanged words on the sideline after the play.
Franklin and fellow receiver Cortland Sutton then joined in the conversation, but Fox’s cameras did not capture their interaction.
Broncos fans will recall that Payton had a heated moment on the sideline with former Denver quarterback Russell Wilson last fall. Payton downplayed his verbal abuse against Wilson last season. See what the coaches have to say about the Knicks’ heated moment after Sunday’s game.
As of press time, the Broncos lead the Raiders 20-10.
