Jim Nantz absolutely nailed the call for Cowboys CB DaRon Bland’s record-setting pick-six

DaRon Bland Jim Nantz Cowboys NFL Dolly Parton Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland made NFL history on Thanksgiving afternoon when he snagged his fifth pick-six of the season.

That’s the record for an NFL defensive player in a single season, as Bland became the first-ever player to accomplish this stunning feat against the Washington Commanders.

During the CBS Sports broadcast, play-by-play man Jim Nantz absolutely nailed calling the moment for the viewers at home as Bland hauled in the historic pick-six.

We’ve come to expect this kind of excellence from Nantz in big football moments, and this awesome commentary adds to that impressive lineage of in-game broadcast calls.

That’s just the standard for how a moment like this should be called on a broadcast.

In a day and age where you can’t always guarantee that the play-by-play announcer on duty will nail the moment, Nantz is just as reliable as they come to give fans exactly what they want to hear when lightning strikes.

NFL players, media members and fans alike were so impressed by Bland's accomplishment.
