FRESNO, Calif. - Three former Bulldogs were in action during Week 8 of the NFL season.

Adams was held in check on Monday night against the Detroit Lions as he went for just 11 yards on one catch.

DaRon Bland, CB, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys dominated the Rams on Sunday and lone and behold DaRon Bland had his fingerprints all over it. He was the team's leading tackler with seven. He also had two passes defended including his third pick six of the season – the most ever by a Cowboys player in a single season. He now chases the all-time NFL record of four set by Eric Allen of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1993.
