Josh Norman and Dez Bryant needed to be separated by officials numerous times during Washington’s game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and Norman says his counterpart did not keep the trash talk to just football. In fact, Norman claims Bryant threatened gun violence against him at one point.
Norman says Bryant confronted him after the final whistle blew and made a gun reference, which led to the postgame scuffle between the two players.
“This guy bumped into me, like, ‘What’s up? Where I’m from, we unload the clip.’ So, pretty much, whatever you want to do,” Norman said, according to CSNMidAtlantic.com. “I’m not that guy that see a challenge in front of my face and back down. That’s not me. That’s not what you’re going to get.”
Bryant took to Twitter to deny making any such comment:

Bryant and Norman don’t like each other, to say the least. Between the alleged “unload the clip” remark and the comments Bryant made following his team’s 31-26 win, this is shaping up to be one of the most animated head-to-head rivalries in the NFL.
