Russell Wilson rebukes Sean Payton over remarks

Russell Wilson broke from his usual restraint, firing back at Broncos coach Sean Payton after Denver’s win over Wilson’s current team. Payton said he wished New York’s switch to rookie Jaxson Dart had come after the game—implying he preferred facing Wilson. Wilson called the remark “classless,” invoking Payton’s 2012 suspension over a “bounty hunting” scandal, and signed off with “Let’s Ride.” The dust-up comes amid fan frustration when Dart underwent a concussion check, and echoes Wilson’s 2023 benching by Denver, which cost him $37 million. The same day, Jets owner Woody Johnson made a verbal attack on a player.
