Sean Payton's Changing Attitude Towards Tom Brady

Introduction

Three years ago, there were rumors of Sean Payton and Tom Brady potentially teaming up with the Miami Dolphins. However, the deal never materialized and the two remained on opposing sides in the NFL. Fast forward to the present, and Payton's attitude towards Brady has changed significantly.

Payton and Brady's History

In a recent interview, Payton was asked about the possibility of facing Brady in the playoffs. His response was unexpected, stating that it doesn't concern him and that Brady "covers NFC games." This is a stark contrast from their potential alliance in Miami, where Payton saw Brady as a valuable addition to his team. It seems that the years have changed Payton's perspective on Brady's abilities and impact in the league.

The NFC vs. AFC Debate

The statement also brings up the ongoing debate between the strength of the NFC and AFC conferences. While the AFC has been dominated by Brady and the New England Patriots for years, the NFC has seen a more diverse group of teams making it to the Super Bowl. Payton's comment could be seen as a slight to the AFC, suggesting that it is not as competitive as the NFC.
