Ravens' jab at Cowboys after win in Rio leads Week 3 trolls - ESPN
The long travel for an international game can make a victory even sweeter. In the Baltimore Ravens' case, it made the postgame troll just that much better.
The Ravens defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in Rio de Janeiro following a last-second field goal by Tyler Loop. It marked the NFL's first game in Rio, and it surely lived up to the hype.
With the score tied, Baltimore received the ball with seven seconds remaining. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with wide receiver Zay Flowers for 27 yards to set up a 56-yard boot from Loop. The kicker nailed it, giving Baltimore the win and a happy flight back home.
On Wednesday, Jackson was asked if he expected the Cowboys to have a large contingent of fans in Rio since they are known as «America's Team.» The quarterback said, «This is America, that's Brazil, so we'll see.» The Ravens remembered the moment. They shared a video of running back Derrick Henry dashing past defenders toward his throne, while quipping that Baltimore is «Rio's team now.» Flowers also said postgame: «We are Brazil's team.»
Rio's team now
