Sean Payton Responds to Video of Jaycee Horn Exchange After Broncos Beat Panthers

Doric SamOct 28, 2024

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton appeared to be confronted by Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn after Sunday's 28-14 win, but he downplayed the exchange.

"I coached his father, so I was yelling back at him," Payton told reporters of his interaction with Horn after the game. "I don't know what the exchange was, but his father, I enjoyed coaching. He was frustrated, I think he was yelling at one of our other players. I like him, I think he's a good player."

Horn appeared to yell in Payton's direction before walking off the field in Denver:

The Broncos held a 28-7 lead entering the fourth quarter but still remained aggressive. One drive ended in a turnover after Denver went for it on fourth down, and another was close to being a touchdown but ended with a fumble. It was Carolina's (1-7) fifth straight loss.

The Broncos (5-3) will be seeking their third straight win when they meet the Baltimore Ravens (5-3) next Sunday.
