Cowboys' Defensive Struggles Highlighted After Vikings Game

The Dallas Cowboys' defense faced heavy criticism following their disappointing performance against the Minnesota Vikings. According to The Landry Hat, radio announcer Brad Sham highlighted the struggles of the cornerback room, stating that if Caelan Carson is the best option, the team has a significant problem.

Carson was notably burned on a crucial 58-yard pass to Jordan Addison, showcasing the secondary's inefficiencies. Sham emphasized that even with Trevon Diggs in the lineup, it likely wouldn't have made a difference, as the entire secondary is underperforming.

The article also pointed out that Dallas's defense failed to contain Vikings' quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who had opportunities to exploit the secondary, including missing an open Justin Jefferson on multiple occasions.

Furthermore, Jerry Jones criticized Diggs, indicating that his playing style requires a certain level of health, and expressed skepticism about Diggs' readiness to play, pointing out that he hasn't had a pass defended this season.

As the Cowboys' playoff hopes dwindle, analysts are calling for substantial changes in the secondary for the upcoming season.
