Cowboys CB DaRon Bland Makes History by Tying NFL Single Season Record

On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys dominated the Carolina Panthers, securing a 33-10 victory. With this win Cowboys are now 7-3 in the league where as the Panthers are 1-9. Also, the Cowboys have another reason to celebrate as their cornerback, DaRon Bland, has made history by tying the record for the highest number of interceptions in a single season.

Bland, drafted by the Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2023 draft, continues to excel for the team, consistently showcasing his prowess. This achievement marks yet another significant milestone in his NFL career.

DaRon Bland and his iconic career

This season, Bland is proving to be one of the premier cornerbacks in the league, and his latest milestone stands as evidence. During Sunday’s game against the Panthers, he secured his fourth pick-6 of the season, thus tying the single-season record for interceptions returned for a score. Previously, only three players – Ken Houston (1971), Jim Kearney (1972), and Eric Allen (1993) had achieved this mark.

An interesting fact is that he achieved this milestone in only 10 games. Bland has consistently showcased his true potential in back-to-back seasons. In the 2022 season, he led in interceptions despite playing only half of the games. Now, over the span of two seasons, he has a total of 11 interceptions, which is quite remarkable.

How did the Cowboys perform in the game?

In this game, the Cowboys’ defense displayed one of their best performances of this season as they held the Panthers to just 187 yards of total offense. Panthers’ Bryce Young faced significant pressure from the Cowboys’ defense, as they sacked him six times, three of which were by Micah Parsons.

By halftime, it was evident that the game had tilted in favor of the Cowboys, given their lead of 17-3. However, in the third quarter, the Panthers attempted to reclaim lost ground, narrowing the score to 17-10. Despite their efforts, the Cowboys ultimately secured victory, winning the game with a final score of 30-10.

Compared to the defense, the Cowboys’ offense did not perform as well, recording their second-lowest total yards of the season at 311. Dak Prescott completed 25 passes on 38 attempts for 189 yards. Also, he scored two touchdowns. In the next game, they will be facing the Washington Commanders. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain this winning momentum in the upcoming game.
