Ochocinco tears into Cowboys for Dez's catchless first half

Warning: Story contains coarse language

Dez Bryant was held without a catch in the first half of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers and, perhaps coincidentally, the Dallas Cowboys were held off the scoreboard.

Former NFL receiver Chad Johnson took a break from his Thanksgiving festivities to roast the Cowboys for ignoring Bryant.

No targets to Dez at all is blasphemy, this is absolutely un-fucking-acceptable after 2 quartets of play, who is calling the plays, just a simple smoke route, slant or hitch just to make a ni**a feel part of the team & keep him mentally in the game"1/4i

Perhaps the Cowboys heard Johnson's message, as Bryant made a 10-yard reception on Dallas' first play of the second half.
