During the week leading up to Sunday's game in Denver, New York Jets coaches and players brushed aside the motivation provided by Broncos coach Sean Payton's offseason comments calling out Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett.

However, after the 31-21 Week 5 win, it was clear the players and club were seething underneath, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

A pregame speech from tight end C.J. Uzomah made its way around social media in which the veteran said Payton "made this s--- personal…(expletive) him and (expletive) them…"

"We are playing for our boy. If somebody talks s–t about somebody on this team, in our building, in this facility, we are going to play for that person," Uzomah said after the game, via NY Daily News. "We downplayed it all week and the emotion came out of me to say what I said and I don't take that back. That's what I was feeling in that moment and we were able to come out here and win it for Hack."

"He a Jet, so he one of us," Jets linebacker Quincy Williams said. "The biggest thing is if you got a comment about him, you got a comment about all of us, so that was the biggest thing.

"At the end of the day, getting this win for him was very huge. All I got to say is put some respect on my dawg man."
