Dez Bryant plays, scores TD for Cowboys one day after learning of father's death

[CATCH17]

According to the Dallas Morning-News, Scales reported that the cause of death was an illness.

"Of course, he's very sad," said Jerry Jones, per the Morning-News. "You only have one of those. But he was getting the kind of support you would think. He's loved in the locker room, and by the coaches as well. And so there was a lot of sensitivity and love being expressed to him. I'll say this. If he wanted to be at some place in his life, I bet in would be right in the middle of that locker room to be dealing with that."

In the first quarter Sunday, Bryant caught two passes for 33 yards. In third quarter, with the Cowboys trailing, Bryant hauled in a 50-yard touchdown.

There aren't many harder days than when you lose your dad.

"Bryant's relationship with his father has been described as distant and non-existent. The cause of death and Hatton's age are not known at this time."

I didn't realize he wasn't close to him at all. Regardless, has to hurt like hell.

Condolences to Dez and his family.

With that said....

Was there even a mention of it during the game? Meanwhile, when Favre lost his dad, it was treated like a national day of grieving.

Him being at OSU I knew he was raised primarily by his mom but still playing after learning of that and performing well is awesome.
