Josh Norman rebuffs critics: 'It comes with the territory'

ASHBURN, Virginia -- Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman is back where he's comfortable: dealing with critics. In the past week they've called him the team's third-best corner and also someone focused on celebrity who has gone Hollywood.

They watched him get benched for the start of the second half in Monday's 43-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints after blowing a coverage for a long touchdown in the second quarter.

"I'm a target, man. I am. I'm a hot button. You press it, you're going to get a ring," Norman said.
