After the Denver Broncos’ 33-32 win over the Giants, Russell Wilson and Sean Payton had a little social media “firework show” that NFL fans are living for. Payton praised Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Wilson responded like, “Hey, don’t forget about that time.”
Payton said,
Sean Payton talks about the Giants' organization and his respect for the Mara and Tisch families:

"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 that change would've happened long after our game.'" pic.twitter.com/Zk7TVXs1xY
In simple terms: points for Dart, and a subtle jab at Wilson that “it might’ve been easier after my time.”
And Wilson didn’t miss a beat. He posted on social media,
Classless… but not surprised….

Didn’t realize you’re still bounty hunting 15+ years later through the media. 😎😂 #LetsRide 🤣
Yep, referencing the old Bountygate scandal, where Payton’s Saints players allegedly got cash incentives to injure opponents—some memories just don’t fade.
Wilson’s lone Denver season wasn’t exactly sweet. In 2023, he threw for 3,000+ yards, 26 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, only to get benched and eventually released—leaving Broncos with $85 million in dead salary cap. Dart, taking over as Giants starter in Week 4, has brought fresh life to the franchise. In Sunday’s game, he threw for 283 yards and four total touchdowns—almost leading a late win!
To fans, it’s like watching an old drama remade with a new twist. Payton praises Dart, drops a subtle dig at Wilson, and Wilson fires back online. This tension isn’t just Denver history—it’s prime, fresh NFL gossip.
In the end, with Dart’s spark reminding Wilson of the past and Payton adding a little subtle shade, fans get double the entertainment. Social media clapbacks like this are exactly why we can’t get enough of NFL drama.
