Ravens Beat Cowboys 34–31 on Tyler Loop’s Last-Second Kick in Rio
Tyler Loop delivered the final answer in a game that kept changing hands. His 56-yard field goal as time expired gave Baltimore a 34–31 victory over Dallas at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on September 27th. The Ravens–Cowboys recap ends with Baltimore at 2–1 after surviving an early 10-point deficit and a late Dallas comeback.
The closing sequence was relentless. Lamar Jackson found Matthew Hibner for a two-yard touchdown with 1:30 remaining, putting Baltimore ahead 31–28. Dallas answered with Brandon Aubrey’s 23-yard field goal with seven seconds left. Loop then supplied the winner, converting his second field goal of the night after an earlier 27-yarder.
Derrick Henry had kept Baltimore in the game long before that finish. After Dallas opened a 10–0 lead, Henry scored from four yards out late in the first quarter and added a three-yard touchdown in the second. He finished with 89 yards on 26 carries. Baltimore took a 17–13 advantage into halftime.
Jackson’s four-yard touchdown pass to Chris Moore extended the lead to 24–13 in the third quarter. Dallas responded with Dak Prescott’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson and a successful two-point conversion to CeeDee Lamb. KaVontae Turpin’s nine-yard rushing score gave the Cowboys a 28–24 fourth-quarter lead before the final exchange of scores.
Jackson completed 15 of 20 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He also ran for 50 yards, helping Baltimore finish with 192 rushing yards. Zay Flowers led the Ravens with five catches for 84 yards, while Hibner’s late scoring catch supplied one of the afternoon’s biggest moments.
The win still left defensive concerns to address. Dallas produced 415 total yards to Baltimore’s 378, with Prescott throwing for 276 yards and Lamb catching seven passes for 112. Javonte Williams added 98 rushing yards and a touchdown. Baltimore nevertheless finished without a turnover and recovered a Dallas fumble, keeping a narrow edge in possession security.
For Ravens fans, the takeaway is both encouraging and urgent: Baltimore found multiple ways to score under pressure, but protecting a lead remains a priority.
