The Denver Broncos stomped the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 28-14, but something Sean Payton had a Panthers player upset.
Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn confronted Payton after Sunday’s game, calling out the Denver Broncos head coach for attempting to run up the score.
The Broncos were up 28-7 late in the matchup, but then they shockingly decided to call a fake field goal.
Wide receiver Courtland Sutton completed a 28-yard pass to pick up a first down, but the drive would stop after the team fumbled the ball away.
Horn and the Panthers did not take kindly to the antics of Sean Payton when the game was already in hand.
In a postgame video, Horn can be heard yelling at Payton for his ridiculous play call.
