The Commanders were in jeopardy when the score was 38-10, and Sam Howell threw the ball. That’s when the CB stole it and gunned for the end zone. He succeeded! Bland now has the most interception return touchdowns in the history of the NFL. When he came into the league, he shared a record with the Eagles’ Eric Allen (1993), Jim Kearney (1972) of the Chiefs, and the Texans’ Ken Houston (1971).

The Cowboys are known for a tight defense, but this coming from Bland looks like a warning to some GOAT offensive players.
