Tyler Loop’s 56-Yard Walk-Off Lifts Ravens Past Cowboys 34–31 in Brazil

Dallas had just tied the game on Brandon Aubrey’s 23-yard field goal after settling for three points from inside the 2-yard line. The Cowboys then kicked a touchback that left seven seconds on the clock and put Baltimore at its own 35. Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for 27 yards, called timeout, and Loop finished the sequence from 56 yards — redemption after a miss in last season’s finale that had kept Baltimore out of the playoffs, ESPN noted. Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns and added 50 rushing yards. Derrick Henry ran for 89 yards and two scores on 26 carries, and Flowers finished with five catches for 84 yards. Dak Prescott went 25 of 40 for 276 yards and a touchdown; CeeDee Lamb caught seven passes for 112 yards, Javonte Williams rushed for 98 yards and a score, and George Pickens added seven catches for 82 yards as Dallas fell to 1-2 while Baltimore improved to 2-1. The Cowboys’ secondary was thinned by injuries through the afternoon, and late red-zone decisions — including the choice to boom the kickoff into the end zone rather than force Baltimore to burn clock — framed the final possession. Ravens coach Jesse Minter said anything less than seven seconds would have made the play much harder; Jackson called it a practiced “get down, timeout” situation that finally arrived on the international stage. For readers tracking NFL storylines on Sports, the Brazil opener delivered a walk-off that rewrote a Week 3 narrative overnight: Baltimore’s kicker got his first career game-winner, and Dallas left points and clock management on the Maracanã turf. Loop’s celebration — teammates lifting him after a Ronaldo-style “Siu” pose — capped a night that began with Dallas leading 10–0 and ended with Baltimore celebrating on Brazilian soil.
