The Ravens were winning big… until they weren’t.

In what should have been a loss, the Ravens gave the Cowboys life, hope, and a chance at a comeback for the ages. Baltimore held on to win 28-25, and both teams are now 1-2.

The Cowboys trailed 28-6 before scoring three touchdowns in six minutes of the fourth quarter, with Dak Prescott scoring a 1-yard touchdown and throwing touchdown passes of 15 yards to Jalen Tolbert and 16 yards to KaVontae Turpin. Two missed 2-point conversions and a made PAT brought the Cowboys within a field goal with 2:53 left and holding all three timeouts.

The Ravens faced third-and-six with 2:36 left, but Lamar Jackson, who had thrown just 14 passes to that point, connected with Zay Flowers for a 9-yard gain and a first down. The Ravens got another first down on Jackson’s 10-yard run after the 2-minute warning, allowing them to run out the clock.

It was much more dramatic than Ravens fans would have liked.

Justin Tucker, who had missed a field goal in the first two games, missed a 46-yard field goal. The Cowboys needed just 1:48 to go 64 yards for Prescott’s touchdown run. They then recovered an onside kick — the NFL’s first this season — and went 56 yards in 1:46, scoring on Tolbert’s reception. They failed on the second onside kick but forced a three-and-out, and the Cowboys went 91 yards in 2:33 to score on Turpin’s reception.

But that was it.

The Ravens had 456 yards, including 274 on the ground, with Derrick Henry rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Jackson had 14 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown and completed 12 of 15 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown.

Prescott was 28 of 51 for 379 yards and two touchdowns, while Jake Ferguson caught six passes for 95 yards.
