Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland has proven to be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks this season, and through a stellar start to the year, has made some team history as well.
With his pick-six in Week 8 against the Rams, Bland now has three interceptions returned for a touchdown, becoming the first player in Dallas history to accomplish the feat, as ESPN’s Todd Archer highlighted.

But if Bland's three pick-sixes through seven games isn't impressive enough, the fact he's caught more touchdown passes than some of the incredibly talented NFL wide receivers is nothing short of eye-opening. It's a list that includes the following names, per Pro Football Focus:
- DeVonta Smith
- Tee Higgins
- Tyler Lockett
- Jaylen Waddle
- Calvin Ridley
The interception on Sunday marked Bland's fourth of the season. He also entered Week 8 with 21 combined tackles and seven passes defensed, for good measure.
