Sean Payton Rebukes Geoff Schwartz Over Bo Nix's 19 Deep TD Passes

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 28

Sean Payton publicly swiped at analyst Geoff Schwartz after Schwartz said on TV that Bo Nix does not push the ball downfield often.
Nix's record undercut that claim: he has thrown an NFL-high 19 touchdown passes of 20-plus air yards since the start of the 2024 season, including the postseason.
Payton answered on X with a pointed line — "Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn't" — turning the dispute into a critique of Schwartz's preparation.
The clash centers less on whether Nix has limits than on how he is being described, with Payton defending Denver's use of him as an aggressive downfield passer.
