NFL schedules Ravens-Cowboys Brazil game for Sunday afternoon

The NFL has scheduled the Week Three matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, to be held at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Unlike the two previous Brazil games that were played in primetime, this year's game is positioned in the afternoon due to restrictions outlined in the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. Weather concerns, including poor field conditions from recent rainfall and humidity, may have influenced the decision to avoid a later kickoff. The NFL will have to navigate these scheduling challenges if future games are planned in Brazil under similar circumstances.
