Sean Payton took to social media on Thursday to push back on an inaccurate narrative about Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix.
During an appearance on "First Things First" on Wednesday, former offensive lineman and current NFL pundit Geoff Schwartz said, among other things, that Nix doesn't "push the ball down the field all that often."
The First Things First's official Twitter/X page received a " Community Note " under the video of Schwartz's comment, pointing out that no quarterback has thrown more deep touchdown passes of 20+ air yards than Bo Nix (19) since he entered the league in 2024.
Payton then chimed in by replying to the video with this comment : "Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn't."
Here's a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to Payton's response on Twitter/X:

This community note and @SeanPayton 's comment is just... *chef's kiss* Let people continue pushing false narratives and sleeping on Bo Nix. At least it helps people know who's paying attention and who isn't. pic.twitter.com/CSlDRYfCSQ
