The Dallas Cowboys lose 24-16 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping to 2-3, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are calling it one of the most embarrassing performances in recent Cowboys history.

Plus, the guys react to Tampa Bay's unexpected success with Jalen Daniels at quarterback, Todd Bowles' questionable late-game decision, and what Dallas needs to change before heading to Green Bay.
