The New York Jets wasted no time rubbing it in to Sean Payton’s face.
Seconds after the Jets defeated the Broncos on Sunday, the team’s official Twitter account took a huge shot at Payton.
The official account for the Jets posted a photo of Kevin James portraying Sean Payton along with this caption: “when you lose to the ‘offseason champs.'”
The shot at Payton was clearly in response to his harsh comments from the summer, when he said Nathaniel Hackett did the “worst” coaching job in the NFL in 2022. In addition, Payton had this to say about the Jets:
“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said. “And that happened here. Part of it was their own fault, relative to spending so much time trying to win the offseason – the PR, the pomp and circumstance, marching people around and all this stuff.
“We’re not doing any of that. The Jets did that this year. You watch. Hard Knocks, all of it. I can see it coming. Remember when Dan Snyder put that Dream Team together? I was at the Giants. I was a young coach. I thought, ‘How are we going to compete with them? Deion’s (Sanders) there now.’ That team won eight games or whatever. So, listen … just put the work in.”
The Jets didn’t forget of Payton’s comments and let him know after the game. Meanwhile on the field, Payton and Saleh’s handshake was very short.
