The Dallas Cowboys’ defense is on one yet again. The club still can’t figure out how to score in the red zone but for the third time in four games, the defense and special teams are making it a non-issue yet again.
After Dallas had to settle for their second short field goal of the game to take a 20-3 lead, the Patriots tried to score before halftime to try and get a two-fer situation going. Nope. Mac Jones tried to throw across the field for the second time, but this time second-year corner DaRon Bland was waiting.
Bland jumped in front of Kendrick Bourne and raced down the right sideline untouched for a 54-yard score.

It was Bland’s second score in just four weeks, as he had a Pick-6 off a tipped ball in the season opener against New York. Bland has started just nine games coming into Week 4 and now has seven career interceptions.
