The Denver Broncos secured a 28-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers, though the score could have been more lopsided if not for late turnovers. Tensions flared post-game as Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn confronted Broncos head coach Sean Payton, accusing him of trying to 'run up the score.' Payton, who coached Horn's father, responded with a mix of humor and frustration.

Despite the heated exchange, Panthers head coach Dave Canales remained composed. The game featured strategic play-calling from both coaches, with Payton's aggressive approach possibly fueled by past rivalries. Looking ahead, Payton acknowledged the challenges posed by upcoming opponents, emphasizing the competitive spirit displayed throughout the match.
