Sean Payton and Dirk Koetter engaged in a postgame handshake Sunday that elicited memories of Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz.

Following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-24 upset victory over the New Orleans Saints, the coaches of the respective clubs met at midfield and shared a heated exchange. Payton appeared to offer one too many congratulatory pats and Koetter responded with one of his own.

It's likely any rift between the two began in Week 9 when Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans decked Saints corner Marshon Lattimore with an after-the-whistle, blindside hit.
