""I have a ton of respect for [the Giants] organization," "I spent four of my early years there coordinating a Super Bowl, first game in this stadium before 9/11, close with the Mara and Tisch family. "They found a little spark with that quarterback. I was talking to John Mara not too long ago and I said we were hoping that change would've happened long after our game.""
""Classless... but not surprised.... Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting 15+ years later through the media,""
Sean Payton hoped to face former quarterback Russell Wilson when the Broncos played the Giants but instead faced rookie Jaxson Dart. Payton expressed respect for the Giants organization and referenced his early years there, noting he had spoken with John Mara and hoped the quarterback change would have occurred later. Russell Wilson reacted on X, calling Payton "Classless" and accusing him of "bounty hunting," a reference to the Saints-era bounty scandal that led to Payton's 2012 suspension. Jaxson Dart became the Giants starter after Wilson was benched, accounted for four touchdowns, and the Broncos rallied to win 33-32.
