Kansas City Star off the field rather than take part in postgame handshakes.

As Pro Football Talk noted, the Jets had six personal fouls, and the Broncos accepted 11 penalties and picked up 118 yards.

So Fangio told his team to “head to the (expletive) locker room.”

“There was just a couple of personal fouls there at the end and our sideline was getting pissed off about it and I just wanted to avoid having any confrontat­ion at the end of the game and having it get ugly there,” Fangio told reporters. “So, I tried to get our guys to leave quickly just to avoid anything happening there.

I thought it was the prudent thing to do.”

“I saw those guys start going off and I heard Vic yelling at his guys saying ‘Get in the locker room,’ so I saw what was going on,” said. “I think he was just trying to make sure we didn’t have any kind of melee. It was getting heated.”

There’s some previous bad blood between

Gase and the Broncos. He was the offensive coordinato­r there in 2013-14. of The Miami

Herald: “Gase was making the rounds interviewi­ng as a possible head coach for several teams (in 2015). He got a second interview ... and per league sources, Gase was told he had the 49ers’ job all but sown up.

“Except that after San Francisco GM the job to defensive assistant

Trent left that second interview with Gase, he suddenly soured on the young coach and gave

Jim Tomsula.”

Gase apparently thought that Broncos GM bad-mouthed him to the 49ers.

When the Gase’s Dolphins played the

Broncos in 2018, there was some shenanigan­s. Gase’s team tried an onside kick up 33-9 in the fourth quarter. Gase also brought in his backup quarterbac­k, and had him throw long.
