Cleveland Browns defensive breakdowns are more than just a lack of talent -- Terry Pluto (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Even by Cleveland Browns standards, this is getting to be very, very painful for the fans.

Not the result of Sunday's game, a 35-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Cowboys are 7-1.

Rookie Ezekiel Elliott is sensational and rookie quarterback Dak Prescott is an excellent prospect.

So this story is not about who won or lost.

But the Browns defense is an embarrassment. It's the worst in the NFL, allowing 30 points per game.

Coach Hue Jackson needs to deal with that fact.

The Cowboys scored three touchdowns on complete mental breakdowns by the defense.
