Week 3: Ravens and Cowboys Meet at the Maracanã With the Field Under Scrutiny

Read the full recap →

The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys meet at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, September 27, with Dallas the designated home team. Baltimore is 1-1 after a 24-17 home loss to New Orleans in which it was outscored 15-0 in the fourth quarter; Zay Flowers missed that game with a hamstring injury, Ja'Kobi Lane is on injured reserve and Ronnie Stanley was questionable with a toe injury. Dallas is 1-1 after a 37-20 win over Washington in which Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes and broke Tony Romo's franchise record; Tyler Smith, Malik Davis and Marist Liufau are on injured reserve and DeMarvion Overshown and Malik Hooker have been out. The league says it has no concerns about the grass after record rainfall.

Flowers' status

Baltimore's other receivers have 55 catches combined over 18 games; Rashod Bateman had 88 yards against the Saints.

Prescott's form

Twenty-six of 31 for four touchdowns; CeeDee Lamb has 153 yards in a game and 39 career touchdowns from Prescott.

The surface

Soccer players called it bumpy; the league says it is manageable after six weeks of record rain.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: Medium

How the prediction did

Predicted 27-24 (Ravens vs Cowboys), final was 34-31. Right winner and the 3-point margin called exactly, with both teams 7 points over the projection. Tyler Loop kicked a 56-yard field goal as time expired after Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for 27 yards with seconds left. Derrick Henry scored twice in the league's first game at the Maracanã.

Baltimore's roster is deeper even without Flowers

Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry against a Dallas defense that allowed 389 yards to Washington.

Dallas has scored 57 points in two games

Prescott's offense is functioning at a level that keeps this a field-goal game.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter collapse

Fifteen unanswered points allowed to New Orleans and a thin receiver room cap this at Medium.

A Medium lean for Baltimore on a neutral field where Dallas is the paper home team. Flowers' availability is the swing factor.
