Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys Live Score & Stats – September 27, 2026 Gametracker

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Lamar Jackson used his big right arm and some quick wit to lead the Baltimore Ravens to one of their shortest and most memorable drives in franchise history.

Jackson completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers and called a timeout with 1 second left, setting up Tyler Loop’s 56-yard field goal to cap a stunning 7-second drive that gave the Ravens a 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in Brazil.

“Everyone was on the same timing,” Jackson said of the final drive. “The line did a great job protecting it, Zay ran a great route and I just had to deliver the baby. He caught it and as soon as he went down I was like, ‘Please see me, ref!'”

The Ravens (2-1) and Cowboys (1-2) put on an entertaining show in front of an announced crowd of 72,792 in the third NFL game in Brazil and the first in the city of Rio de Janeiro, engaging in a back-and-forth affair featuring many big plays.

“Unbelievable play from Lamar and Zay,” Ravens coach Jesse Minter said. “Watch the time. You train for these moments, you wait for them to come and it happened today and we were ready.”

For a moment, it looked like the Cowboys were going to win in regulation.

Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins was called for pass interference with 23 seconds left when his arms locked with CeeDee Lamb, giving the Cowboys the ball at the Ravens 2. After an incomplete pass, the Cowboys were called for a false start, which backed them up at the 7. Dallas settled for Brandon Aubrey’s 23-yard field goal to tie it at 31 with 7 seconds left.

And that set up the Ravens’ improbable finish that was capped by Loop’s kick going through the uprights and the jubilant Ravens swarming their kicker in a wild celebration at the Maracana.

“I’m hurting, they’re hurting,” Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said. “It’s a long trip (to Rio), but no one cares. We also have a long flight home.”

Jackson found rookie tight end Matt Hibner for a 2-yard touchdown for a 31-28 lead with 1:30 left. This gave the Cowboys and Dak Prescott enough time to tie the score.

Baltimore’s Derrick Henry ran for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

The Ravens were in control with a 24-13 lead in the third quarter, but the Cowboys weren’t finished. Jake Ferguson atone for an earlier turnover when Prescott found him for a 19-yard touchdown. Dallas added a 2-point conversion on a nice catch from Lamb, cutting the deficit to 24-21.

Baltimore looked poised to go up by 10 a few minutes later, but Henry was stuck in the backfield on fourth-and-inches at the goal line when rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham broke through the offensive line and made the tackle.

Dallas kept the momentum in its favor with a 96-yard touchdown drive that included a 49-yard pass to Lamb. KaVontae Turpin ran for a 9-yard TD to give the Cowboys a 28-24 lead with just under 10 minutes to play.

The Ravens defense came on strong in the third quarter, forcing a Cowboys turnover when Ferguson missed a shovel pass from Prescott. Dallas attempted a 59-yard field goal later in the third, but Keondre Jackson blocked Aubrey’s kick to preserve the Ravens’ 17-13 lead and regain possession at midfield.

Jackson hit Chris Moore for a 4-yard touchdown four plays later and a 24-13 lead.

The Ravens recovered from a rough start, scoring 17 straight points to take a 17-13 halftime lead.

Henry had a 5-yard run early in the second quarter to move into ninth place on the NFL’s career rushing list, passing Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, who had 13,259. If the five-time Pro Bowl selection continues at his current pace, he could also surpass Jerome Bettis (13,662), LaDainian Tomlinson (13,684) and even Curtis Martin (14 101) this season.

After concerns about the playing surface this week, the Maracana grass pitch seems to be holding up quite well.

The NFL has played in Brazil since 2024, but the previous two games were played at the 48,000-seat NeoQuimica Arena in Sao Paulo. In the first year of the game against Brazil, its turf was also criticized and forced players from the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers to change their cleats so they no longer slipped.

Ravens: Tight end Mark Andrews (hand) left in the first half, but returned later in the game.

Cowboys: Safety Jalen Thompson (hamstring) left in the second quarter. Safety Markquese Bell (dehydration), left in the third quarter, but returned.

Ravens: Host the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.

Cowboys: At the Houston Texans next Sunday.
