EA Sports unveiled its ratings for Madden NFL 20 on Monday, and as always, there were some strong reactions from players.

Among those displeased with their rating was Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who called for a boycott of the video game on Twitter.

Lawrence then retweeted one fan's comparison of his stats from 2015-18 with those of Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who received a 97 rating.

Lawrence signed a five-year, $105-million extension - including $65 million in guarantees - with the Cowboys in April, making him the third highest-paid defensive player in the NFL behind Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald.
