Panthers CB Jaycee Horn, Broncos HC Sean Payton get into confrontation after Week 8 loss
Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn didn't get much of a taste of former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton while he was still in the NFC South. But he did on Sunday, and it seemed to be a pretty sour one.
Now in his second year heading the Denver Broncos, Payton was up to his ol' cheeky ways in Week 8—as he dialed up a pair of trick plays while up by three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
The first came on a fake field goal with 10:10 left in the game, as the Broncos tried for a first down on a redirected pass from punter/place holder Riley Dixon to tight end Lucas Krull. Their attempt fell five yards short.
The second, with 4:29 remaining, came on a double pass with Denver facing a fourth-and-2. Quarterback Bo Nix found wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who then found fullback Michael Burton for a 28-yard gain.
Horn, apparently, didn't take too kindly to the decisions . . .
Little feisty after the game. Looked like Sean Payton and Jaycee Horn exchanged pleasantries.

Payton said the following of the confrontation afterwards:
The Panthers allowed 400 total yards to the Broncos in the 28-14 defeat. They've also relinquished 271 points this season, tied for the fourth-most through eight games in the Super Bowl era.
