New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah used Sunday’s pregame speech to take a shot at Broncos Sean Payton for his comments in the off-season about Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

Not long after Payton was named the head coach of the Broncos, he was interviewed about the job and also touched on the struggles of the previous regime — led by Hackett before he was fired. He called it “one of the worst coaching jobs in NFL history.” Payton later walked back the comments, but Jets QB Aaron Rodgers called it “out of line” and “inappropriate.”

On Sunday, the Jets exacted revenged on Payton by beating the Broncos 31-21. Though everyone had more than enough motivation heading into the game, Uzomah’s fiery speech surely amplified that.

“They made it personal. Their coach made this shit personal,” Uzomah said to his team as they took the field. “Well, fuck him and fuck them! This ain’t about them! It’s about us getting back on the right track. Let’s win this bitch for (Hackett).”

After the game, other players also made it clear that they wanted to stick up for their coach.

For the impressive offensive performance — which included 234 rushing yards — Hackett was even given the game ball.
