New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton seemed to mock the Minnesota Vikings’ SKOL chant during Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round loss.
In a series of photos from the sideline, Payton can be seen raising his hands and clapping above his head— mimicking the Vikings’ team chant— while celebrating the field goal that put the Saints up 24-23 with 25 seconds left in the game.
The Vikings went on to win Sunday’s game 29-24 and advance to the NFC Championship.

This isn’t a first for Payton who also mocked the Atlanta Falcons during the regular season by making a choke sign to running back Devonta Freeman.
