The Ravens left Brazil with a 34-31 win over the Cowboys, but the final score tells only part of the story. Baltimore rushed for 192 yards, Lamar Jackson posted a 136.7 passer rating, and the game still came down to Tyler Loop’s kick as time expired.
Those numbers capture both sides of the afternoon: an offense that found ways to move the ball and a defense that let Dallas keep coming back. Here are five stats that explain how the Ravens won — and what still needs work.
192 rushing yards
Baltimore ran 38 times for 192 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per attempt. Henry produced 89 yards and two touchdowns, Jackson added 50, and Flowers contributed a 20-yard run.
136.7 passer rating
Jackson completed 75% of his attempts and averaged 9.3 yards per pass. He threw two touchdowns without an interception
and was not sacked.
One turnover
Simpson’s recovery of Ferguson’s fumble produced the game's only takeaway. Baltimore protected the football and finished plus-one in turnover margin.
0-for-2 on fourth down
The Ravens’ short-yardage failures nearly cost them. Henry was stopped during the first quarter, and another failed conversion near the goal line preceded Dallas’ 96-yard touchdown drive.
56 yards
Loop’s game-winning field goal traveled 56 yards and came after Aubrey tied the score with 10 seconds remaining. Loop also made a 27-yard field goal and all four extra-point attempts, accounting for 10 points.
