Baltimore and Dallas have met only seven times, yet the series has produced a stadium farewell and a memorable Derrick Henry performance. The Ravens lead 6-1 entering Sunday’s game in Rio de Janeiro. The 2008 meeting stands apart. Dallas was playing its final game at Texas Stadium, but Baltimore spoiled the occasion with a 33-24 win. Le’Ron McClain’s 82-yard touchdown run helped put the game away and became the longest run in the stadium’s history.
The Ravens later beat the Cowboys 34-17 in 2020, a game played on a Tuesday. Four years after that, Baltimore arrived in Dallas at 0-2 and left with its first victory of the season. Henry carried 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 28-25 win. That recent meeting gives Sunday’s
game an obvious tactical connection. Henry remains central to Baltimore’s offense, while Dallas enters Week 3 allowing 173.5 rushing yards per game. The Cowboys know firsthand how much damage he can do when the Ravens establish the run.
This time, the setting shifts from Texas to Brazil. Dallas has an opportunity to change a lopsided series, while Baltimore can add another win to a short history already defined by imposing rushing performances.
