In the Washington Redskins' Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers, left tackle Trent Williams and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman could be seen mixing it up. Despite the size difference, Norman claimed that Williams was the lucky one that there were referees to prevent any physical altercations.

“He better be glad those refs were out there," Norman said, per Joseph Person of The Charlotte Observer. "I feel like if they wouldn’t (have been there), people would have gone to a dark place. It was good that they were out there to get in between that. I don’t care how big he was, I’d take a shot.”

That wasn't all that Norman had to say about Williams.

"I don’t care how big you are," Norman continued. "It really doesn’t matter. We lions, we dogs out there. It doesn’t matter if you want to hit me or chip me. I’m not going to sit back there and be lax about it. I’m going to do something about it."

No one ever questioned Norman's confidence, but picking a fight with the 300-plus pound Williams is probably not the wisest decision.
