By his standards, Michael Thomas had a quiet game Monday night against the Redskins, making four catches for 74 yards.
But he certainly left a strong impression on Washington's secondary, and the trash talking didn't stop when the final whistle sounded on the Saints 43-19 destruction of the Redskins.
After the game, Redskins defenders accused Thomas of taking cheap shots and going too far with his trash talk.

October 9, 2018 Corner Josh Norman said of Thomas: "That guy. Oh my gosh. That guy. To speak on him, I will not waste my breath. I'm sorry. I will not. He's not worthy of it. He never will be worthy of it."
