The Baltimore Ravens secured a dramatic 34–31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 of the NFL season, highlighted by a game-winning 56-yard field goal from kicker Tyler Loop with one second remaining on the clock.
Ravens Edging Cowboys in a Thriller
The matchup in Brazil tested both sidelines down to the final seconds. Dallas fought back to tie the game at 31–31 after converting a first down near the one-yard line, ultimately settling for a field goal under intense pressure. But Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson orchestrated a quick response, completing a 27-yard pass to wide receiver Zay Flowers before immediately calling a timeout with just a single second left on the game clock.
That stoppage set the stage for Loop, whose 56-yard kick split the uprights to seal the 34–31 win for the Ravens. The sequence capped a frenetic finish that pushed Baltimore forward in the early-season standings while handing the Cowboys a narrow defeat.
