Cowboys vs. Ravens live updates: Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson lead teams into matchup in Brazil

Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Baltimore offense start with the football.

George Pickens (52) and CeeDee Lamb (49) both rank in the top three in the entire NFL in catches of 20-plus air yards since the start of the 2022 season, when Pickens entered the league as a second-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pickens leads the league in that metric while Lamb is tied for third. 

Downs, an All-American defensive back at Ohio State who the Cowboys selected 11th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, leads the Cowboys in both tackles (17) and sacks (1.0). His sack came against New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart in Week 1 in a blitz off the edge of the line of scrimmage. Downs is the only Cowboy with a sack this season. 

After throwing four touchdowns in Dallas' Week 2 win against the Washington Commanders, Prescott entered Week 3 ranked in the league's top five in both completion percentage (73.8%, fourth) and passing touchdowns (6, tied for first). Three of Prescott's six touchdown passes have been to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had jus three all of 2025. 

Flowers missed the Ravens' Week 2 loss against the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury, but he was electric in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts with a career-high 150 yards receiving in addition to a touchdown on five catches. The two-time Pro Bowler's presence will dramatically open up the field for Jackson and Henry. 

Henry leads the NFL in carries (672), rushing yards (3,728) and rushing touchdowns (36) since becoming a Raven in 2024. 

Ravens five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry is on the verge of more NFL history. He is just 30 yards rushing away from passing Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson on the all-time list. If he goes off for 100 yards against the Cowboys, he'll have 57 career such games. That would rank as tied for the seventh-most in NFL history.

* Emmitt Smith is all-time leader with 18,355

The Ravens two-time league MVP quarterback is a unique challenge to game plan against. Jackson is both the NFL's all-time leader in passer rating (102.2, minimum 75 games) and rushing yards among quarterbacks (6,596). Entering Week 3, Jackson led the NFL in yards per pass attempt (10.0) this season. That's why NFC teams who don't regularly play against him struggle to adequately game plan and execute against him defensively. Jackson boasts the best record (25-4) against the opposing conference since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, minimum 15 starts per CBS Sports Research. 

* Minimum 15 starts

CBS Sports NFL analyst JJ Watt took around the field at Maracanã Stadium in Rio today, and he discovered plug of artificial turf threaded into the grass. That's why the NFL has had to clear up concerns about the playing surface all week. The stadium has hosted two World Cup Finals (1950, 2014) and the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Today's game between the Ravens and Cowboys taking place at Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the third NFL game  in the country. The prior two games took place in Sao Paolo at Corinthians Arena. 

Last season, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 27-21 in Sao Paulo, and in 2024, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 34-29. 

Baltimore will be without left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) on Sunday against the Cowboys. Other Ravens inactives include S K'Von Wallace, LB Carl Jones, WR Elijah Sarratt, DT Aeneas Peebles and QB Joe Fagnano (3rd QB). 

Zay Flowers (hamstring) will play, and two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) will play for the first time since Sept. 14, 2025. Per ESPN, Carson Vinson, a 2025 fifth-round pick, is projected to make his first career start by replacing Stanley as the team's left tackle against the Cowboys.
