Sean Payton responds to Bo Nix’s funny Ferris Bueller video

“It was outstanding … He’s got a good sense of humor,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Bo Nix’s Ferris Bueller video.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a heated sideline discussion during the team’s 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

After the game, Payton said Nix has “a little bit of Ferris Bueller” in him, referencing the 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick.

Nix took that remark in stride and posted a funny highlight video on his Instagram page on Tuesday featuring one of the movie’s famous lines: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Payton was asked about the video after Wednesday’s practice.

“It was outstanding,” Payton said. “He had to look up the freakin’ movie. It was outstanding. I think I ‘liked’ it — if that’s what the heart [button] means.

“He’s got a good sense of humor. And I think he had to have some help [to make the video]. He had to have some help. We’ll figure out who.”

Nix admitted that he did not make the video himself.

“I definitely didn’t do it. I’m not talented like that,” Nix said. “I just thought it was perfect timing to kind of use the game on Sunday and just have some fun with it.”

Payton said he called Nix “Ferris Bueller” at Wednesday’s practice and the quarterback responded by calling him “Dennis The Menace,” a nickname that was given to Payton by former coach Bill Parcells.

Nix said his teammates also appreciated the video.

“The guys liked the video, and they gave me a hard time about it,” the QB said. “I think it’s just kind of part of the game that you can have some fun with. Kind of just bring smiles and laughter.”

“Bo is doing it the correct way,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said after practice. “That’s my thought. He’s hilarious, man.”

In case you missed Nix’s video:

Instant classic.

Bo Nix responds to Sean Payton’s comments with perfect Ferris Bueller video

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller/Bo Nix

In the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was captured by Fox cameras having a heated exchange with coach Sean Payton on the sideline.

After the game, Payton explained that Nix had flipped a play that the coach did not want to be flipped, and they discussed it on the sideline after the play. Payton said Nix has “a little bit of Ferris Bueller” in him.

Payton, of course, was referencing “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” a 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick.

“Ferris is kind of quirky and doing his own thing once in a while,” Payton said. “Did you watch the movie? Have you ever seen it? He still has some Ferris Bueller in him. He’s got some. Not mischievous, maybe a little bit kind of subtly.”

Two days later, Nix had a perfect reaction to Payton’s comments. The 24-year-old quarterback shared a highlight video on his Instagram page featuring a clip of Ferris Bueller and a caption featuring an iconic line from the movie: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Nix helped the Broncos beat the Raiders by a score of 34-18 with a 70.4% completion rate, 206 passing yards, two touchdown passes, one touchdown run and no turnovers. Perhaps having some Ferris Bueller in him isn’t a bad thing.

Sean Payton says Broncos have to get ‘Ferris Bueller’ out of Bo Nix after sideline exchange

“There’s still a bit of Ferris Bueller in this player that we got to get rid of,” Sean Payton said of his sideline exchange with Bo Nix.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a heated sideline exchange with coach Sean Payton in the third quarter of Sunday’s 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders at home.

Payton addressed the incident during his postgame press conference.

“It’s part of the deal,” Payton said. “Listen, last year, all of a sudden I was — it’s just, there’s still a bit of Ferris Bueller in this player that we got to get rid of. Talking about Bo. And I love him to death. And so, sometimes it’s my love language, all right?”

Payton seemed to initially reference his sideline bouts with Russell Wilson last fall before switching the spotlight to Nix. The coach was later asked to explain the Ferris Bueller comparison.

“Ferris was kind of quirky doing his own thing once in a while,” Payton said. The coach went on to explain that the rookie flipped a play he wasn’t supposed to.

“Look, there are times where you send something in and then, ‘I don’t want it flipped,’ and it gets flipped — and so, it’s all good. He works his tail off and I am that way [too]. So it just is what it is.”

Nix had a funny initial response when asked about the incident.

“Yeah, well, he turned and looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’ and I turned and said, ‘I love you’ back,” the quarterback joked.

Nix went on to admit that he did flip the play and he, like Payton, downplayed the sideline incident.

“We’re just out there with great intensity and fire and we can have those conversations and move right back along and score another few touchdowns,” Nix said. “It doesn’t bother us.”

Nix finished the game 19-of-27 passing for 206 yards with two touchdown passes, one touchdown run and no turnovers. Sunday was the best game of Nix’s career, so that fiery exchange clearly did not have a negative impact on the rookie quarterback’s performance.
