The NFL’s first game in Brazil at Maracanã Stadium proceeded despite significant concerns about the playing surface. While the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 on a last-second field goal, the field's condition remained a focal point. Pre-game reports highlighted emergency repairs, including manual trimming with scissors, and post-game feedback from players indicated the turf degraded significantly by the end of the match. The NFLPA had previously warned that the surface failed performance standards, though no injuries were reported during the game.
