Cowboys CB DaRon Bland Makes Team History, Has More TDs Than Multiple Noteworthy NFL WRs

The Cowboys defender is off to a stellar start to the 2023 NFL season.

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.
