Baltimore Ravens Pulled Off Last Minute Victory in Brazil Against the Dallas Cowboys
We’ve been clear on how we feel about international NFL games. One of the two teams has to give up a home game. Both have to travel some unnecessary distance. And the attendees may not fully grasp what an NFL game is really about. But in spite of all that one team still has to win. And the Baltimore Ravens pulled off a last-minute victory over the Dallas Cowboys. In short, it was a game a football fan could appreciate.
There were lead changes, stupendous catches and long field goals. Wide receiver Zay Flowers was a game time decision and was cleared to play. He showed up for the Ravens with his five receptions for 84 yards and one rush for 20 yards. But CeeDee Lamb was just as important for the Dallas Cowboys putting up 7 receptions for 110 yards. And teammate George Pickens contributed with 7 receptions for 82 yards. However, as great as the aerial show was, the ground game was just as impressive. Javonte Williams had 98 yards but also a fumble. Whereas Derrick Henry had 89 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
Although it’s no surprise that quarterback Lamar Jackson got in on the rushing game adding on 50 yards in six attempts. However, despite getting the lead in the second quarter, the Ravens let it slip away. Late in the fourth quarter they allowed the Dallas Cowboys to tie the game with a 23-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey. After the field goal there were only seven seconds left on the clock.

But the real star for the Baltimore Ravens was kicker Tyler Loop. On the ensuing kickoff after the Cowboys’ field goal, it was a touchback to the Raven’s 35-yard line. Then Lamar Jackson found Flowers for a 27-yard strike down the middle. Jackson then smartly called for a timeout with one second left on the clock. Last year in his rookie season, Loop missed a 44-yard field goal that would have sent the Ravens to the playoffs. But things turned out differently this time. Loop made the 56-yard field goal that gave the Ravens the victory with no time left on the clock.
Needless to say, it was an exciting game that football fans could enjoy. However, it happened in Brazil so there weren’t nearly as many fans from the US there to appreciate it. Which is why having so many international games doesn’t make sense. Why deprive national fans of being able to attend the game in person? I guess we won’t be getting an answer to that question. Because next week another international game will be taking place in London, U.K. It will be the Colts against the Commanders across the pond. Enjoy, I guess.
