Norman downplays Bryant matchup: 'Can't be worried about 1 guy'

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman appears to be backing off his take-on-all-challengers stance after his coaching staff decided not to put him on Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown in Monday's loss.

This week's opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, feature receiver Dez Bryant who said he's looking forward to facing Norman, but the NFL's highest-paid cornerback is telling fans not to get their hopes up.

"Everybody wants the matchup between me and Dez. But come on, they have other guys too," Norman said, according to ESPN's Ed Werder. "I just can’t be worried about one guy."

That's a much different response than the claims Norman made throughout the offseason, promoting himself as the best cornerback in the league with top shutdown abilities.
