The mutual respect between Josh Norman and Odell Beckham Jr. prior to Sunday's game quickly evaporated once the ball was kicked off on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

The two constantly went at each other during and after plays. Beckham was held without a catch in the first half for the first time in his career, before ultimately finishing with six grabs for 76 yards, including the game-tying touchdown over Norman with 1:46 remaining.

But until late, much of the focus was on the two players' unsportsmanlike antics. Beckam was whistled for four penalties, including three unsportsmanlike conducts, while Norman was called for two 15-yard penalties.

Norman reportedly took special exception to Beckham's style of play after the game.

Norman went on to say more to reporters.

"If he wants to be Michael Jackson and dance all over the place and not be a football player...I hope I pulled back his mask." -Norman — Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 20, 2015





Norman says fine if Beckham wants to "dance and prance around like a ballerina," but he shouldn't try to be something he's not. ie, tough. — Joe Person (@josephperson) December 20, 2015



The Panthers ultimately won the game 38-35 on Graham Gano's last-second field goal, giving Norman the last laugh.
