"DaRon Bland's Historic Pick-6 Puts Him in DPOY Contention"

Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland has entered the discussion for defensive player of the year after setting a record with his fifth pick-six of the season. However, there are other strong candidates, including Myles Garrett, Danielle Hunter, T.J. Watt, and Micah Parsons. Bland's interceptions returned for touchdowns highlight his right-place, right-time ability, but it may not be enough to overcome pass rushers with higher sack numbers. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledges Bland's performance but is cautious about awarding him the defensive player of the year title. Bland's chances will depend on his performance in the remaining games.
