Season so far
DaRon Bland has played only one game so far this season, making it too early to establish a definitive trend. Through 67 snaps against Baltimore in Week 3, he recorded a net-negative 57.7 overall grade. His performance was heavily dragged down by coverage miscues, which included conceding a 19-yard defensive pass interference penalty and a touchdown catch to Chris Moore. Bland also struggled to tackle in space, missing a stop on Zay Flowers late in the contest. On a positive note, he provided solid run defense highlighted by blowing up a Lamar Jackson goal-line sweep for a one-yard loss.
