Aikman addressed Jerry Jones’s suggestion of a potential trade aimed at improving the squad.

The Cowboys faced a tough challenge against the Cardinals, allowing a staggering 27 points through just three quarters. Aikman pointed out the team’s defensive shortcomings, saying, “I don’t think one player… is gonna make a difference for this group.” Buck echoed this sentiment, referencing Jerry Jones’s prior acknowledgment that the defense needed more than just a lone acquisition.
Recent Team Performance
