Ernie Sims has said that he is "sick" of hearing praise for Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
The 37-year-old has broken the NFL record for most touchdown passes in the first four games of the season.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker, who will face Manning tomorrow, told the Dallas Morning News: "I'm sick of hearing about Peyton Manning. We just got to go out there and do what we've got to do.
"You hear it all the time when a guy walks into the locker room, 'Peyton Manning threw for four touchdowns, this and that'.
"Yeah, he's a great player. You can't take that away from him. But at the end of the day, we're all competitors. And me being a competitor, I don't like that. I am ready to play football."
Sims has made six tackles so far this season.
