The Facts:
Bryant apologized for leaving the field before the clock ran out in Sunday's loss, explaining that he didn't want to be seen crying on the sideline. "I was wrong," Bryant told reporters Monday morning. "It didn't have anything to do with my teammates. I just. ... I couldn't watch Green Bay kneel the ball down on the field after a tough loss like that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
He continued: "I was very emotional. I cried when I got into the locker room. I didn't want to show that stuff on the sideline. ..." HC Jason Garrett said he would discuss the situation with Bryant, who had 11 catches for 153 yards and a spectacular touchdown, on Monday. Following an interception thrown by Tony Romo, his second in the fourth quarter, Bryant walked off the field after a review of the play confirmed the pick, effectively sealing Green Bay's victory. It's the second time this season Bryant has made headlines for his actions on the sideline "Whenever I'm out on the football field, it's all about the team," Bryant said Monday. "I'm a team guy, and that's what I think about, and that's what I focus on. I extremely, extremely apologize for leaving, but my teammates and coaches understand. I am a very emotional player, and we didn't finish. It [leaving the field] had nothing to do with my teammates." Seems reasonable enough.
