Just like head coach Sean Payton, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has moved on from the sideline interaction between the two during Saturday’s 42-17 loss to the Detroit Lions.
“We are focused on beating New England and playing a good game against them. Obviously, this game matters and that’s where our head is at,” Wilson said.
Payton became a national headline after he was caught by the NFL Network broadcast yelling at Wilson after the Broncos were flagged for being offsides, which negated a touchdown late in the third quarter.
Payton said after the game that his conversations with Wilson are “none of your business.” On Monday, Payton said he has a great relationship with Wilson but didn’t shed any more light on the situation except that he was frustrated by the flag on fourth down.
On Wednesday, Wilson brushed off a question about whether he had a conversation with Payton about the outburst.
“We definitely talked about the game plan for this week,” he said.
Wilson added he hasn’t paid attention to the social media reactions about the incident, as he jokingly said, “I was there.”
“We both wanted to score a touchdown,” Wilson continued. “Knowing all the comebacks we’ve had, we (believed) we were going to win this game. Unfortunately, they scored (and) it’s 28-7. We come back down (the field) again. That was an unfortunate situation because we believed it was going to make it 28-14. That’s really where all the frustration was.”
