THE STORY IN ONE VIEW

Dallas started faster, but Baltimore finished stronger.

Dallas controlled the opening stretch and built a 10-0 lead. Baltimore answered with Derrick Henry’s power running, took a halftime lead, then got a huge blocked field-goal swing in the third quarter. Dallas still found a way back in the fourth, but Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers gave Tyler Loop one more chance — and he delivered from 56 yards.

Fast takeaway: If you only want the headline, it is this: the Ravens did not dominate every stat category, but they won the biggest moments.

Dallas finished with 415 total yards to Baltimore's 378 and also led possession time 30:38 to 29:22. But Baltimore protected the football, generated a key turnover and got the biggest special-teams play of the game with the blocked field goal.

THE DEBATE SECTION

Questions Fans Will Argue About

1

Should Dallas have handled the last kickoff differently?

The Cowboys tied the game, but the touchback gave Baltimore a clean starting point. One completion later, Tyler Loop had a chance to win it.

2

Was the blocked 59-yard field goal the true turning point?

It prevented a possible Dallas lead and immediately turned into a Ravens touchdown drive. That is hard to top in a one-score game.

3

Did Tyler Loop fully erase the 2025 playoff miss?

Maybe not permanently, but a 56-yard walk-off in an international game is about as dramatic a response as a kicker can script.

4

How different is Baltimore when Zay Flowers plays?

His return added needed speed and explosiveness, and his late catch directly affected the ending.
