Norman said he gouged Hurns' eyes in a battle for a fumble Sunday

Panther cornerback Josh Norman said he gouged the eyes of Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns in a scrum trying to recover Hurns’ fumble Sunday during the Jaguars-Panthers game.

In a transcript of his post-game interview according to blackandbluereview.com, he said, “I can’t even describe it to you.’’

“It was like being in the doghole, trying to get out of there,’’ he said. “Fight, fight, fight. Trying to grab the ball, digging in folks’ eyes and everything, eye-gouging. I think Hurns didn’t like that too well. He was pushing and I went somewhere else and I had understand it was the game and can’t go there like that.
