Troy Aikman: Cowboys Should Be 'Embarrassed' of Defensive Effort vs. Browns

The Dallas Cowboys fell to 1-3 after a 49-38 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, with the defense unsurprisingly taking much of the blame.

Former Cowboys star and current NFL analyst Troy Aikman was especially harsh in his assessment.

"To me, I'd be embarrassed as a player to put that kind of performance on film," Aikman told 96.7 KTCK The Ticket Tuesday, via Jori Epstein of USA Today. "That's going to be seen by your peers for the rest of the season."

The defense has allowed 36.5 points per game this season, worst in the NFL, while Cleveland totaled 307 rushing yards in Sunday's win over Dallas.
