Giants QB Russell Wilson calls Broncos coach Sean Payton ‘classless’ for a postgame swipe at him
Russell Wilson fired back at Sean Payton on social media after the Denver Broncos coach took a jab at the New York Giants’ backup quarterback, who lost his starting job to rookie Jaxson Dart after an 0-3 start. Wilson called Payton “classless” and referenced the “Bounty Gate” scandal from 2009-11. Payton was suspended for a year after the NFL found the New Orleans Saints rewarded players for injuring opponents. Payton commented on the Giants’ recent win, saying they “found a little spark” with Dart. Wilson spent two seasons as Payton’s QB with Denver in 2022 and ’23.
