Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence raised some eyebrows this week when he said part of the reason the Cowboys were upset by the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs was due to fatigue.

“All honestly, I think the main thing is we was burnt out,” Lawrence said on ESPN's First Take. “Long season, team is dominantly healthy throughout the season, the legs get tired."
Lawrence then went on to give the Packers their due for their game plan.
“But also, you gotta give hats off to Green Bay,” said Tank. “They came out with a great game plan, rolling out towards Micah [Parsons] and running away from me. I feel like that’s what they needed to get their game started, and they jumped on us fast.”
Two of the Cowboys key players, Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore, joined the GBag Nation on Radio Row in Las Vegas Friday and were asked to weigh in on Lawrence's comments.
"I don't know what that word is," Cooks said when informed of Lawrence's opinion that they were tired.
"Everybody is tired in the playoffs. Whatever it takes. San Francisco is tired right now. Kansas City is tired," Gilmore interjected, while Cooks continued to share his thoughts, saying, "When the playoffs going ... It's a long year, but it's a lot sweeter when [you're holding the Lombardi Trophy]. I don't know what that's all about."
Gilmore also spoke about his free agency, and both players spoke about their frustration with being upset by the Packers and much more.
