Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has revealed that he feels sickened by his side's loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the wildcard round of the playoffs.

The Lions allowed a 13-point lead to slip in the second half as the Cowboys booked their place in the divisional round with a 24-20 victory.

Suh's contract with the club ends in March, and he was emotional after the game as he had to pause his post-match press conference before taking questions from reporters.

He said: "I'm just speechless. I feel like we played as hard as we could. We played very, very hard. We put it all out there. This team put it all out there.

"Like I said, I didn't expect this outcome. It's sickening."

Suh has recorded 239 tackles, 36 sacks and one interception in his five years with the Lions.
