Bengals Alert Police After Saints' Sean Payton Reportedly Smashed Fire Alarm

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton took matters into his own hands to avoid a distraction before Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

A fire alarm went off for about 15 minutes at Paul Brown Stadium before the game, so Payton responded by smashing an alarm in the Saints locker room, according to Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune.
