The NFL Ratings for the Cowboys-Commanders game is crazy. Dallas won in a blow out 45-10 but the game still had 41.4 million viewers, with a peak of 44.2 million. That is the 3rd most watched #NFL game IN HISTORY. So many people watched DaRon Bland break the NFL record for pick-6s in a single season.
Moreover, speaking of Bland, what he is doing is nothing short of legendary. Plus, his legacy is an excellent model for any young kid hoping to be a NFL superstar. ESPN’s Ed Werder describes DaRon’s background stating,
When your young athlete is struggling and needs inspiration, tell them about DaRon Bland.
One scholarship offer out of HS from Sacramento State. Later played at Fresno State. Cowboys 5th-round pick. The 22nd CB drafted. NFL record for most pick-6s in single season with 5.
[Al Harris] has coached and developed Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland. Before his injury, nobody had more INT since he was drafted. Now Bland has set NFL pick-6 record and leads NFL in INT this season and since he was drafted last year.
Not a coincidence. Dan Quinn and Al Harris excellent.
