FRISCO -- Dez Bryant caught only one pass on four targets Sunday in Cleveland. The star receiver is not upset that he didn't have a touchdown or a 100-yard game. The Cowboys won 35-10. He's happy with the result.

Some critics don't believe him. They think Bryant needs 10 to 15 targets a game to be content.

"I feel like I've been misunderstood for so long," Bryant said. "But people can think whatever they want to think. I know who I am.

"First off, I wasn't even supposed to be in the league right now according to a lot of people, but I'm here. A lot of people try to say I'm a me, me, me guy. I've never been. That's not how I was taught."

Why has Bryant made it seven seasons in the NFL?

"Because of who I am as a person," he said. "Who I am. I feel like I'm a great person. I do. I care about people. I genuinely care about people. I like to see people do good. I've been around a lot of hate in my life. That's something I try my best to eliminate every day."

Bryant believes he's one of the most double-teamed receivers in the NFL. He's not frustrated. Those defensive coverages have led to many wide-open catches for his teammates. He takes pride in receiving the extra attention.

"How many big games [statistically] have I had and we lost? And I said, 'It's not about that. I don't care. We didn't win.' Same thing, if we winning and I'm not getting it, that's OK," Bryant said. "I know my time is going to come. When it comes, it's going to be big."
