Following the play, several reporters claimed that Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant — in his first game back since suffering a broken foot in Week 1 — was celebrating the concussion. Bryant vehemently denied that charge following the contest.
According to Bleacher Report, Bryant yelled “stay the (expletive) away. Why don’t you all get the (expletive) out of here? This is our (expletive) locker room. You (expletive) dirty (expletive).”
“I won’t ever, ever, ever wish bad on a player that’s been knocked down. Not once did I say, ‘That’s what you get.’ I got on one knee and prayed for that man. I got on one knee and prayed for him. Don’t put clips together and do that.”
