A live microphone does something to Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. It’s as if it compels him to trash talk New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Friday, Norman implied that playing against Beckham Jr. is a matter of life and death, and that he feels OBJ is out to get him.

Seriously, that’s actually what Norman implied, adding that he constantly feels the need to look over his shoulder while Beckham Jr. is near.

Considering Norman initially threatened Beckham Jr. with a baseball bat, unleashed brutal late hits against him and continued his shenanigans this past season, it seems like Norman is just projecting.

That’s not to say Beckham Jr. is completely innocent, of course. Back in 2015 when Norman was a member of the Carolina Panthers, OBJ let himself go too far when he came back on a play and crushed Norman with a helmet-to-helmet hit. But that came after various late hits courtesy of Norman and his teammates.

This past season, Beckham Jr. managed to stay cool against Norman, but the same could not be said for the overly emotional chatterbox.

In a season-ending matchup that eliminated Washington from the playoffs, Norman was flagged several times for blatant personal fouls against Beckham Jr. He ultimately escaped without a fine or a suspension.

In the end, Beckham Jr. owns the space between Norman’s ears. Hopefully in 2017, OBJ will continue dominating the cornerback.
