Broncos' Sean Payton on Bo Nix Exchange Video: There's Some 'Ferris Bueller' in QB

Andrew PetersOct 7, 2024

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton had a heated exchange during Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

After being forced to punt, Nix was seen obviously frustrated on the sideline, going back and forth with his coach.

Payton spoke about the interaction after the game.

"There's still a little bit of Ferris Bueller in this player that we got to get rid of," he said. "I'm talking about Bo, and I love him to death. Sometimes it's my love language."

While in some ways Payton's comparison to the iconic movie character could be a compliment, it seems as if he was saying the rookie quarterback moves to the beat of his own drum, which leads to moments like Sunday's outburst.

Payton and Nix's heated interaction was an unfortunate distraction from an otherwise solid day for the Broncos. Denver handled the Raiders 34-18, snapping an eight-game losing streak to Las Vegas.

Nix finished with 206 passing yards and three total touchdowns, bouncing back from a rough showing in Week 4 against the New York Jets. The No. 12 overall pick now has 866 passing yards and three touchdowns, also picking up 119 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Nix and the Broncos started the season with a pair of losses, but have now won three in a row. Nix struggled to take care of the ball early, throwing four interceptions in his first two games, but he's eliminated those mistakes over the last three games, which has led to a winning streak.

Denver will look to continue its win streak next week as it takes on the Los Angeles Chargers, where Payton will hope to get a little less Bueller out of his quarterback.
