Two weeks ago, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said rookie quarterback Bo Nix had some “Ferris Bueller” in him.
“Ferris was kind of quirky doing his own thing once in a while,” Payton said, comparing the character’s traits to those of his quarterback.
Nix not only took it in stride, but he embraced it, posting a funny Ferris Bueller on his Instagram page (and Payton loved it).
This week, Payton is returning to Louisiana to face his former team, the New Orleans Saints, on Thursday Night Football. One day before the game, Payton’s daughter, Meghan, posted a perfect tweet on Twitter/X:

A must-watch, indeed.
Meghan, who works for FanDuel TV, followed that up with another perfect tweet on game day: “It’s domecoming game day 🏈”

The Saints, of course, play at the Caesars Superdome.
Payton coached in New Orleans from 2006-2021, helping the team to a victory in Super Bowl XLIV following the 2009 season. He returns tonight, this time as a Saints opponent.
