Overview
- On Sunday in Rio de Janeiro the Cowboys lost 34-31 when Tyler Loop hit a 56-yard field goal as time expired after a final sequence left the Ravens seven seconds to answer.
- A seven-play, 23-second stretch decided the game when a false start moved the ball back, Schottenheimer used a timeout with 14 seconds left, Prescott threw the ball away on third down, and a kickoff touchback gave Baltimore time for a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers.
- Owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 the Fan there is "no explanation" he finds satisfactory for the clock-management errors but stopped short of naming any immediate firings.
- Head coach Brian Schottenheimer publicly took responsibility, saying he "overcoached" Dak Prescott on the critical third-down play and promising to learn from the mistake while insisting he still trusts his quarterback.
- The loss dropped Dallas to 1-2 and has raised urgent questions about coaching trust and situational execution that the team must address before Sunday’s game at the Houston Texans.
