Overview
- The Ravens took a 17-13 halftime lead at Maracanã Stadium after a second-quarter surge that followed an error-filled opening for Baltimore.
- Derrick Henry carried 13 times for 47 yards and scored two short-yardage touchdowns, moves that tied him with Ray Rice for second in Ravens rushing TDs and moved him past Eric Dickerson on the NFL career rushing list.
- Lamar Jackson’s scrambling, including a 21-yard run that started Baltimore’s first scoring drive, helped the Ravens total 91 rushing yards on 19 attempts in the half and forced Dallas to defend quarterback runs.
- Special teams and hidden-yardage factors shaped field position all half, with Brandon Aubrey’s late 38-yard field goal and earlier kickoff/coverage concerns influencing both offenses.
- Both teams entered the break with injury worries that could matter in the second half: Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was listed questionable with a hand injury and Cowboys safety Jalen Thompson was questionable with a hamstring while Dallas already lacked two other safeties.
