Tyler Loop kicked a 56-yard field goal at the final second of play to secure the Baltimore Ravens' 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro. This win was particularly sweet for Loop as he had missed a potential winning kick in the previous season, which ended with his coach's firing. The article highlights how Loop’s successful kick helped atone for last year’s disappointment and emphasized the team's support and camaraderie during this significant victory.

Story summary
Nick Pappas, the NFL's field director, expressed confidence in the condition of the turf at Maracanã Stadium for the upcoming game between the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens on September 27. Despite concerns raised by the NFL Players Association about loose and patchy grass leading to safety issues, groundskeepers used scissors and a new GrassMaster Stitch Machine to improve traction and stability just days before the match. The league aims to ensure player safety while still hosting international games in Rio de Janeiro. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson acknowledged past experiences playing on poor fields but emphasized focusing on winning rather than worrying about turf conditions.
