It's not uncommon for Dez Bryant's sideline histrionics to end up on camera, mostly because it happens so frequently. Bryant was again shown in a heated sideline exchange during the Cowboys' 41-28 beatdown of the Bears on Thursday night, but the wide receiver isn't concerned what the rest of the world thinks about how he comports himself at his job.
“F--k no, I do not care,” Bryant said, according to the Dallas Morning News' Jon Machota. “Because I know I'm not doing anything wrong. They don't know what's going on. I can't care less. They ain't on no sidelines. Nobody's on the sidelines with us.
“The only thing they're waiting for us to do is take an L so they can talk a bunch of [expletive] about us. ‘Oh, the same old Cowboys in December.' C'mon, man. Ain't none of that. We're going to take advantage of what we need to take advantage of.
“I don't give a f--k who films it," Bryant continued. "That's the truth. That's the truth. That's how I feel. As long as we get the W, that's the only thing that matters. Put that s--t down. … Put my whole cuss words in there. I meant that. We're trying to do something big here. That's the only thing that matters.”
Bryant's teammates and coaches have come to his defense following previous outbursts, almost all of which had to do with the Cowboys collectively playing better. So what was Bryant so worked up about Thursday?
"Telling my boys not to relax," he said. "We're not going to relax. We've got an opportunity to do something."
Just to be clear: Bryant wasn't complaining about not getting the ball?
"F--k no," Bryant said. "Anybody will tell you in this locker room, it's an unselfish mindset."
Bryant finished the night with six catches for 82 yards, and the Cowboys are now 9-4 on the season and currently the fifth seed in the NFC.

Raiders RB Latavius Murray clears concussion protocol; expected to play Sunday
After missing the team's Week 13 drubbing at the hands of the St. Louis Rams with a concussion he sustained in Week 12 , Oakland running back Latavius Murray should return to game action this week against San Francisco. He has only seen 14 carries on the season, gaining 166 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Murray was on his way to a monster game before being knocked out in Week 12. He had tallied 118 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries against the Chiefs. His return this week is obviously a good thing, as he's by far the best running back the Raiders have. However, the matchup with San Francisco isn't as inviting. The 49ers have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs on the year. If you've got other options, they may be worth considering, as Murray's sample-size is too small to be overly confident in him and, as bad as they've been, RBs Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew will still see action.
