Following the back-and-forth between Josh Norman and Dez Bryant, former great Deion Sanders elected to chime in and give Norman some advice moving forward.
Less than a week ago, the Dallas Cowboys pushed their winning streak to 10 games after defeating the division rival Washington Redskins to the tune of 31-26. Throughout the game, all eyes were on the one-on-one matchup between none other than Dez Bryant and Josh Norman. The battle was fairly even, as Bryant only caught five passes for 72 yards with no touchdowns to boot.
Throughout the contest, the two All-Pro players were talking trash as expected. After all, both guys are known for getting into the head of their opponent, which gives them a mental edge on top of the edge they already have from a physical standpoint. However, initially, Norman claimed that Bryant took things too far.

“This guy [Bryant] bumps into me like, ‘What’s up? Where I’m from, we unload the clip,’ Norman said.”
Just days later, Norman backpedaled faster than he does when defending an out route. Norman claims that it was a metaphor he used to describe himself, not what Bryant said to him.
After all of that back-and-forth, one of the greatest trash-talkers of all time, Deion Sanders, decided to give his two cents.
“What Josh Norman is doing right now is outlandish,” Sanders stressed. “First of all, if I’m to say something about your game, you can say something about my game. But don’t go back and tell the media what we’re conversating about on the field. Because on the field, that’s ours. That’s our playground. That’s like a rule, an unwritten rule, that you do not discuss our private business in public. You can’t do that. It’s always the referees, it was Cam [Newton] . . . it was [Odell Beckham Jr.], it was someone else. Sooner or later, Josh got to take a look in the mirror and say, ‘Man, it may be me.’ If you’re that guy, you don’t have to go out and try to prove it with your mouthpiece that you’re that guy. Your game should be loud enough that you’re that guy, but it seems as though he feels as such, he has to prove with his mouth and his actions that he’s that guy. Let your game talk.”
Unfortunately, these two aren’t scheduled to face each other again this season, but maybe, just maybe, we’ll see them go at it in postseason play.
