The Dallas Cowboys faced the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil, where a pivotal false start penalty by Luke Schoonmaker during the final possession shifted momentum. Initially positioned at the two-yard line, the Cowboys were pushed back, resulting in a game-tying field goal with seven seconds remaining. The Ravens took advantage, and Lamar Jackson's 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers set up a winning 56-yard field goal as time expired. Despite a strong comeback from Dallas, including a 96-yard touchdown drive, critical mistakes in the closing moments thwarted their efforts.
