The Cowboys fell to the Ravens 34-31 in a close game on September 27, 2026. After tying the score with seven seconds left through a field goal, the Cowboys opted for a touchback on the kickoff instead of risking a return. This decision allowed the Ravens to start their drive at the 35-yard line, enabling them to execute a play that set up a game-winning 56-yard field goal by Tyler Loop. The controversial choice by Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer drew criticism, as the Ravens were able to capitalize on the extra time granted.
