“Bountygate” is Payton’s undoing
In the spring of 2012, however, the tide turned. An investigation by the NFL found that defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (center) promised his players financial incentives to tackle opponents as hard as possible and, ideally, even to injure them. Payton (right), who knew regarding the action and, together with general manager Mickey Loomis (left), tried to cover up the procedure, is then banned for the entire 2012/13 season, Williams even indefinitely. The Saints end the season with a 7-9 record. © imago sport photo service
