Sunday's matchup between the New York Jets and Denver Broncos became interesting after Broncos head coach Sean Payton ripped Jets' OC Nathaniel Hackett for his lone year in Denver.
As Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season approaches, a much-anticipated game between two teams with just two combined wins will receive some attention. The New York Jets head to Colorado to take on the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Prior to the season, the game was billed as Aaron Rodgers vs. Russell Wilson, two strong defenses against offenses that struggled in 2022, and Nathaniel Hackett’s return to Denver after a disastrous tenure as head coach last season.
Things only went downhill from there as Hackett’s offense struggled in Russell Wilson’s first year at quarterback in a Broncos uniform. Hackett was fired after a 4-11 start, putting an end to the shortest tenure for any non-interim head coach in franchise history, according to ESPN. Sean Payton takes shot at Hackett, Jets Super Bowl-winning head coach Sean Payton took the Broncos’ job on February 3, 2023, after one year as an analyst for FOX Sports.
Yeah, I love Nathaniel Hackett. And those comments were very surprising for a coach to do that to another coach,' Rodgers told NFL Network’s Peter Schrager. 'My love for Hackett goes deep. We had some great years together in Green Bay. Kept in touch. Love him and his family – incredible family man, incredible dad.' 'And on the field, he’s arguably my favorite coach I’ve ever had in the NFL – his approach to it, how he makes it fun, how he cares about the guys.
