Ravens Survive Rio Thriller with 56-Yard Kicker as Cowboys Waste Red Zone Chances
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in the first NFL game in Rio de Janeiro, surviving a late collapse with a 56-yard field goal by rookie kicker Tyler Loop with one second remaining. The Cowboys, who led 31-28 with 23 seconds left, failed to score a touchdown in two goal-to-go opportunities, allowing the Ravens to escape with a win. Lamar Jackson completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers to set up the final kick, marking the quickest game-winning drive in NFL history since 1978. The result leaves the Ravens at 2-1 and the Cowboys at 1-2, highlighting ongoing red zone struggles for Dallas and a resilience boost for Baltimore.
