New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson took to social media to blast what he deemed to be "classless" comments from Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton.
Payton told reporters after the Broncos' 33-32 comeback win over the Giants he had been hopeful the team would keep Wilson entrenched as its starter over Jaxson Dart until after they played the Broncos.
"They found a little spark with that quarterback," Payton said, referencing Dart. "I was talking to [Giants owner] John Mara not too long ago and I said we were hoping that change would have happened long after our game."
Naturally, Wilson took Payton's comments as a slight. That led the 36-year-old quarterback to jab back at his former coach by referencing Payton's involvement in the New Orleans Saints' infamous "Bountygate" scandal.
"Classless… but not surprised," Wilson wrote on social media. "Didn’t realize you’re still bounty hunting 15+ years later through the media."
