Greg Hardy, Dez Byrant have words

— -- Dallas defensive end Greg Hardy and receiver Dez Bryant, who was not dressed for the game, appeared to get into an animated exchange on the Dallas sidelines during today's 27-20 loss to the Giants.

ESPN's Josina Anderson caught up with Bryant in the tunnel after the game and asked him about the exchange.

"There is no issue," Bryant said. "That's just football. People want to make nothing into something, especially when we lose. That's just football."

Hardy, when asked about it after the game, kept saying "no comment; next question".

Hardy also broke into the special teams huddle to berate his teammates after they gave up a decisive 100-yard kickoff return by New York's Dwayne Harris.

After Harris sped the length of the field for the winning points in the Giants' victory, Hardy broke into the subsequent special teams huddle before New York kicked off with 7:01 remaining Sunday.

Safety Danny McCray, a member of the unit, said the passionate Hardy even "pushed me a little bit."

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the incident was not an issue.

Hardy is in his first season with Dallas and missed the first four games while suspended under the NFL's personal conduct policy while with Carolina. Hardy played only one game for the Panthers in 2014 and spent the rest of the year on the commissioner's exempt list with full pay. He signed with the Cowboys as a free agent earlier this year.

There wasn't any immediate indication whether the two tirades were related.
