The Denver Broncos are currently winning their game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but not everything is going well for Bo Nix and Sean Payton.
In the second half of the game, cameras caught Nix in an animated and heated conversation with the head coach.
Sean Payton could be seen putting his hand on Bo Nix’s chest as the quarterback immediately begins going off and explaining himself.
As he began to walk away while yelling, Sean Payton followed him to get in his two cents.
The drive before that blowup ended in a punt.

Bo Nix and Sean Payton may have been heated at the time, but things are going well. The teams hold a three-possession lead in the final quarter of play.
Bo Nix Was Chosen By Sean Payton But Has Yet To Truly Deliver On The Field
Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced that Bo Nix had won the starting quarterback position before the season.
Nix was the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and the first rookie to start a Broncos season opener since John Elway in 1983.
However, he has yet to deliver a stellar performance.
Through four games, Bo Nix has completed 83-of-138 passes for 660 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions and run for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.
Despite that, the team is well on its way to being 3-2 on the year.
