IRVING, Texas -- There is a consistent trend with Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant that probably needs to stop: He's arguing with the referees. Too much.

Coach Jason Garrett said the arguing with the officials has to stop and Bryant has to concentrate and move to the next play.

"Absolutely. We try to emphasize that to everybody on our team," Garrett said. "There’s certainly a natural reaction that a lot of guys have. You see it all around the league. There’s an attention to the officiating, and you’ve just got to make sure to focus on doing your job. Obviously he felt a couple of different occasions where he was getting held, he was a little bit restrictive."

"But again, we emphasize to him, get that guy off of him and go make the play," Garrett said. "At times (in the Baltimore game) he did an outstanding job of that. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out on the two-point play. But Dez is getting better and better every week. We’re excited to have him on our football team."
