The Dallas Cowboys fell to 1-2 after Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop made a 56-yard field goal on the final play of a 34-31 game in Rio de Janeiro. The matchup drew 72,792 fans to Maracanã Stadium for the NFL's third game in Brazil and its first in Rio, with Dallas serving as the designated home team.

Baltimore led 24-13 after Lamar Jackson threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Chris Moore late in the third quarter. Dallas then scored 15 consecutive points, including Dak Prescott's 19-yard touchdown throw to Jake Ferguson and a two-point pass to CeeDee Lamb. KaVontae Turpin's 9-yard touchdown run put the Cowboys ahead 28-24 with 9:42 left.

The Ravens regained the lead when Jackson connected with rookie tight end Matt Hibner from 2 yards out with 1:30 remaining. Prescott moved Dallas into range, and Brandon Aubrey tied the score with a 23-yard field goal, leaving seven seconds. Jackson then found Zay Flowers for 27 yards before Baltimore called timeout with one second left, setting up Loop's winning kick.
