Cowboys' Demarcus Lawrence Drops NSFW Response to Eagles' Doug Pederson Ahead of Sunday Night Clash
By Ryan Giglio
The Dallas Cowboys have every right to be frustrated after losing their last three games.
It's their struggles that partly led Eagles head coach Doug Pederson to guarantee a Philly victory on Sunday.
Pederson's comments did not sit well with Cowboys defender Demarcus Lawrence, who had some choice words for the Super Bowl winning coach.
#Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawerence says of coach Doug Pederson, who promised an #Eagles win on @SNFonNBC: "He might want to shut his ass up and stay on the sideline.

In response to Pederson's claim, Lawrence told the Eagles coach to shut up and stay on the sidelines. Of course, the Cowboys star did not deliver the message with such nice words.
Lawrence also referenced Dallas' 3-5 start in 2018, a season in which the team made the playoffs, as reasoning why the current struggles won't be fatal.
The 27-year-old seems riled up by Pederson's smack talk, but the same can also be said for the Eagles.

Zach Ertz told reporters that he loved his coach's comments and is ready to fight to back up the guarantee.
The division rivals are tied for first place in the NFC East, so Sunday's battle should be a great game. It definitely helps that this war of words no doubt added more fuel to the fire.
