Josh Norman appears to have irked Eric Rowe.

In an appearance on Fox Sports 1’s “Undisputed,” Norman — the Washington Redskins’ star cornerback — tore into Patriots coach Bill Belichick for benching Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII. Norman also pulled Eric Rowe, who replaced Butler in the Super Bowl, into the line of fire.

And Rowe seemed to have a response on Twitter on Thursday.

Butler didn’t play a single defensive snap in the Super Bowl, and Rowe took over as the team’s No. 2 cornerback. Instead of using Butler as the team’s third defensive back, the Patriots instead employed safety Jordan Richards and cornerback Johnson Bademosi. New England lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 41-33.

“Who’s Eric Rowe?” Norman said. “I mean, I don’t know the guy and I’m not trying to disrespect him at all and I think he’s going to be a hell of a player once his time comes. But at the end of the day, I think Malcolm Butler, is he not senior to Eric Rowe? So he’s been playing the position and he has that experience.”

Norman’s comments have been echoed around the NFL. Butler’s absence from the Super Bowl was a head-scratcher against the Eagles three years after he’d intercepted Russell Wilson on the goal line in the final minute to secure a Lombardi Trophy.

“He could’ve affected that game, literally,” Norman. “I understand coaches, they try to make a point, and that point is reasonable when you’re in the biggest game of all. … Sit [him] out for a quarter, sit [him] out for a half, that’s cool. Teach a lesson. But the whole game, when crunch time comes down to it?”

“You put the best out on the field and you let them play. … I respect [Butler’s] game. I respect Bill Belichick as a coach. I respect everything they do as an organization, but at the end of the day, man, you have to put your best players in the game no matter what happens.”
