The Cleveland Browns were manhandled by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. Did any major position group perform well in the 35-10 loss?

It was another ugly Sunday for the Cleveland Browns. The Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, didn’t even need to shower following their 35-10 victory at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Cleveland’s offense fights for every inch, while their defense allows opposing offenses to walk for large chunks of yardage on seemingly every play. The Cowboys made it so easy early on that by the time the third quarter came around, all they were trying to do was get home in time for dinner.

While not a pleasant afternoon for the Browns, fans are not in shock over the team’s ninth consecutive poor performance to open 2016. The Browns have had troubles closing out even the worst of NFL teams, so they knew that they would have their hands full against one of football’s best.

Cleveland cannot dwell on the defeat for too long, as they have a Thursday night matchup with the Baltimore Ravens quickly approaching. But to prepare, they must first analyze the numerous areas in which they fell short against the Cowboys. The following is this week’s grade book of every major position group. Grades are on an A-F scale and take only into account the way the team performed during Sunday’s game.
