Bryant denies threatening Norman during postgame handshake
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant denied threatening Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman immediately after Thursday's 31-26 victory.
Norman alleged Bryant confronted him during the postgame handshake, saying "Where I'm from, we unload the clip" - an apparent reference to gun violence.
While Bryant did tweet that he'd whoop Norman's ass, he said the cornerback was lying about the alleged gun threat.
Honestly I can't believe he's on tv lien.. I have kids bra it's not that serious https://t.co/rGuinINfXT

Bryant also said he shouldn't have resorted to calling out Norman:
I just finished watching my interview on espn... I shouldn't have even stooped down to that... we have something special here in Dallas

The postgame altercation nearly came to blows on the field, with Bryant and Norman having to be separated by teammates.
