New York Giants cornerback Rico Payton lost his cool against Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Chigozie Anusiem during Sunday's game. The two teams had a lot at stake in Week 17, considering that the loser of the game would likely get the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Tempers flared when Payton shoved Anusiem off the field. Anusiem took issue with it and didn't let go of the Giants player. He made him hit the Gatorade coolers and fall to the ground.

Payton then took a swing at the Raiders' cornerback while the Giants' bench tried to break up the fight.
