During the postgame press conference, Wintson said the exchange was about 'communication'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.
