After the Denver Broncos' 28-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, CBS cameras captured Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn in a heated exchange with Broncos coach Sean Payton.

Payton spent 16 years in the NFC South with the New Orleans Saints, so Carolina is a familiar opponent for him. It appeared Payton wanted to emulate his old rival when the Broncos attempted a fake field goal in the fourth quarter and later made a trick play while leading 28-7.

With the game still leading by three touchdowns with 4:29 left, Payton called a trick play in which wide receiver Courtland Sutton threw a deep pass to fullback Michael Burton. Sutton completed the pass, but Denver later turned the ball over (on a fumble by Sutton).

It seems that Horn was not happy with the situation:

9News cameras captured audio of Horn yelling at Payton for trying to run up the score.

Payton was asked about the incident after the game.

“I coached his dad and that’s why I yelled at him,” Payton said. “I think, uh – I don’t know what the exchange was, but his father was fun and I enjoyed it. He was frustrated, I think he yelled at one of our other players. So… (shrugs shoulders) . I like him, I think he's a good player.

Jaycee's father, Joe Horn, was a wide receiver for the Saints from 2000 to 2006. Payton coached the elder Horn in his first season in New Orleans.
