Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Wednesday that he called Broncos coach Sean Payton and apologized for comments made in a recent interview that went viral, per ESPN. Macdonald said he believed there was an understanding with the interviewer that his remarks would not be made public, according to Awful Announcing.
The incident appears resolved. Payton told reporters that everything is fine between the two coaches and that the situation actually helped Denver improve how it handles training camp videos, per Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports. The "kerfuffle," as one outlet described it, has been "put to bed once and for all."
