Cowboys travel to Brazil for game against Ravens, aiming for rest

The Cowboys are scheduled to fly to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, tonight ahead of their game against the Ravens this Sunday. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized the team's travel plans allow for adequate rest during the long flight, with most players having lay-down seats on the plane. Schottenheimer expressed confidence that the Cowboys would be well-prepared for their Friday practice upon arrival. Concerns about the playing surface at Maracanã Stadium have been mentioned, but Schottenheimer stated that outdoor conditions are part of every game week checklist. Both teams are undertaking the journey tonight with the expectation that travel will not significantly impact their performance.
