Jim Nantz absolutely nailed the call for Cowboys CB DaRon Bland's record-setting pick-six
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.
"2nd and 10… THERE IT IS! THIS IS HISTORY!
IF BLAND CAN TAKE IT THE DISTANCE, THIS WOULD BE THE RECORD!
BLAND FOR THE FIFTH TIME HAS A PICK SIX!
IT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL!" ~ Jim Nantz goes crazy as Cowboys DB Daron Bland makes NFL history with his… pic.twitter.com/TRjAion9Ok

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.
