Javonte Williams finally gave Dallas a featured rushing afternoon, and the Cowboys still flew out of Rio without the win. Nineteen carries. Ninety-eight yards.
A 2-yard touchdown that opened a 10-0 first-quarter lead. The team piled up 148 rushing yards - the first time in 2026 Dallas had cleared 100 on the ground, DallasCowboys.com noted - in a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at Maracanã Stadium.
The CBS Sports box lists Williams as the Cowboys' leading rusher. Tyler Goodson added 22 yards on six carries. Dak Prescott scrambled for 19. KaVontae Turpin's 9-yard touchdown run later put Dallas ahead in the fourth. The Ravens closed it on Tyler Loop's 56-yard field goal after Lamar Jackson's 27-yard completion to Zay Flowers with one second remaining, the Associated Press reported.
Short field, then sustained bites
Williams' touchdown capped a short field after Dallas stuffed Derrick Henry on fourth-and-1 at the Baltimore 30. Five plays later Williams finished it right guard, the team site wrote.
The longer runs kept drives alive when Dallas needed them. A 17-yard carry helped set up Brandon Aubrey's opening 28-yard field goal. A 22-yard burst in the third moved the Cowboys into range before Aubrey's 59-yard attempt was blocked. A 15-yard run opened the series that ended with Jake Ferguson's 19-yard touchdown catch and Lamb's two-point conversion.
