I’m not going to remember a lot of things when I get older, but I’m going to remember these moments,” Payton said after beating the Saints.

And Payton left no doubt as to how emotional the end of the night will be for him. During an interview with Amazon Prime's Charissa Thompson that aired before the game, Payton got choked up when former Saints players such as linebacker Demario Davis and defensive end Cameron Jordan were mentioned.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton made his first official return to New Orleans on Thursday night, and this is how Saints fans reacted.
