LAKE BUENTA VISTA, Fla. -- New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton denied that there is any bad blood with Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter despite a rather animated exchange when their two teams squared off in Week 17, a game the Bucs won 31-24.
“Not at all,” said Payton, who is serving as the head coach of the NFC team at the Pro Bowl.
“Listen, he’s a great coach and a good friend and when you get into these games, you just get going 100 miles an hour,” Payton said.
