Panthers add insult to injury with postgame comments about Cowboys

The undefeated Carolina Panthers reveled in their 33-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys during Thanksgiving, after being listed as a one-point underdog prior to the game.

Carolina moved to 11-0 with the victory and holds a commanding lead in the NFC South. Dallas slipped to 3-8 and, for all intents and purposes, its season is over.

After the game, Panthers star cornerback Josh Norman led the offensive against the Cowboys, with star wide receiver Dez Bryant drawing the brunt of his ire.

"There's no pact between lions and men between the white lines," Norman said to Jonathan Jones of The Charlotte Observer. "None! And if my intensity is all-out for four quarters and the opponent's not, that's not my fault. And I do not shy away from saying that."

Bryant only caught one pass against Norman.

"I think today he was two for 26 and no touchdowns. I don't know how many he caught on me, but I can think of one and that was six yards," Norman said.

"So I don't know if he's going to want my jersey now. Maybe I'll give it to him."

Norman also insinuated that Bryant should repay the Cowboys the $70 million they owe him over the next five years.

The Panthers' star cornerback wasn't the only player infuriated after the game.

"We heard all the noise all week long about how good their offensive line was as how much Tony (Romo) was going to come in and right the ship for them. We took it as a challenge," Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer. "We felt like it was very disrespectful for us to be underdogs coming into this game, being a 10-0 team and playing a team that’s only won three games all year long."

With the Panthers surging to an 11-0 mark, Vegas ought to take notice next time.
