St Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher has criticised Bernie Kosar after the former Cleveland Browns quarterback made unpleasant comments about his side.

Kosar slammed the Rams' reserve quarterback Kellen Clemens, the receivers and receivers coach Ray Sherman while appearing as a TV analyst for the match.

However, Fisher believes that the comments were unjustified and was surprised to hear Kosar come out with them.

"I feel bad for them (the Browns) that they had someone doing the broadcast feel the need to speak that way about players, specifically on our team and coaches for that matter," said Fisher.

"I'm just surprised that Bernie has such a lack of respect for players and this game. To be honest with you, I lost a lot of respect for him. It's highly unlikely he knew anything about our football team, but felt the need to make those comments. I don't think they were justified."

Kosar played for the Browns between 1985 and 1993.
