Things got testy between the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks during Monday Night Football but tensions were also high between quarterback Jameis Winston and receiver Tre’Quan Smith.
Both teams were tied at 10 in the fourth quarter when the Saints had an opportunity to score at a crucial 3rd-and-12. With four receivers out on the play, the ball was eventually batted down and the Saints were forced to punt.

Clearly not happy with the play, Winston was captured chewing out Tre’Quan Smith on the sideline. Smith, walking away, seemed to give it right back.
According to NOLA.com, head coach Sean Payton also gave Smith some pushback on the sideline, signaling the wideout might have been at fault somehow during the botched third down.
