Cowboys' DaRon Bland sets single-season record with 5th pick-6

ARLINGTON, Texas -- After tying the NFL single-season record for interception returns for a touchdown with his fourth on Sunday, Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland said he was gunning to set the mark as soon as possible.

He needed just five days.

The second-year cornerback returned an interception 63 yards for the Cowboys' final score in a 45-10 demolition of the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving Day.

"It's great, especially on this day," Bland said. "Another thing to be thankful for."

Entering Thursday, Bland had been tied with Eric Allen (1993), Jim Kearney (1972) and Ken Houston (1971) for the record.
