ARLINGTON, Texas – Morris Claiborne has played well in his first three games in the NFL. The Cowboys' first-round pick has held his own at the starting cornerback spot opposite of Brandon Carr. But he allowed his first score of the year Monday night against the Chicago Bears, and because of that play, he was critical of his overall performance. "I played horrible," Claiborne said. "Any time you give up something like that, on top of that, it's something you've been working on everyday in practice, you go out and give it up. It's hard." Claiborne was talking about a 34-yard touchdown pass that Devin Hester caught early in the second half, giving the Bears a 17-7 lead. Hester hit the former LSU standout with a double-move, leaving the veteran wide receiver wide-open in the middle of the field. "I got to make that play," Claiborne said. "I got to be on top of that route. I got to go up and get that ball. That's my ball. But I left it out there and they scored a touchdown. I learned from it and put it behind me. I'm going to try my best to not let it happen again."
