What an accomplishment, but the one against the Giants was a fumble and he recovered for a TD.

Is the NFL changing definitions of plays now?

He didn't catch the ball. so it wasn't a fumble.

The one against the Giants came after Diggs hit Barkley and the ball popped up in the air. It never hit the ground nor was it a catch and strip.

Castorinho beat me to it.

The definition of a interception is:


an act of a defensive player catching a forward pass.

He caught a fumble not a forward pass

Are you being obtuse?
You can't fumble a ball if you never had possession of it.

Since the receiver never officially had possession and it popped out of his hands it's an interception. I don't know what more of an explanation you need. If you hate the rule then complain to the NFL but it's pretty damn simple.

What is it called when an offensive receiver tips the ball up in the air and the defensive back catches it and runs it back for a touchdown?

Jarrett Lee throwing 7 pick sixes is more impressive than Bland returning 5 pick sixes.

It is unreal the secondary talent that Dan Quinn has organized. It is legion of Boom 2.0 in Dallas. Bland is playing same level as the All Pro CB Diggs who went out with injury.

If that ball hits the ground its ruled an incomplete pass...it was an INT no reason to discuss.

The bigger discussion should be was that scripted...me thinks it was.

5 td's in one season for a defensive player is nuts. The list of offensive players that he's in front of is a who's who of pro bowlers.

And frick the Cowboys.

Bland has more touchdowns this year than all of the Patriots wide receivers combined.

One more and you can put this with the all-time least likely records to be broken.

This isn't going to be good for the Cowboys salary cap.

What the frick is wrong with you? No. I’m being serious. Is it drugs? Concussions? Poor genetics? Elaborate trolling with limited payoff? There is something seriously wrong with you if you believe this.
