Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is absolutely not losing sleep over facing the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil, and honestly, can you blame him? When asked if the Cowboys’ “America’s Team” status might sway the Brazilian crowd, Jackson had a response that was pure, unadulterated ice: “This is America, that’s Brazil, so we’ll see. We’ll see.” Talk about cutting straight to the chase! No frills, no fuss, just the facts.
The International Showdown: Rio Ready For Football
This Week 3 matchup isn’t just any game; it’s going down in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, a huge international stage. Both the Ravens and the Cowboys are heading into this one at 1-1, looking to establish themselves early in the regular season. For Jackson, the two-time MVP, his focus is solely on the field and bouncing back from their Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He is not letting any “America’s Team” hype get in his head.
Momentum on the Line
Jackson’s been putting in work through the first two games, throwing for 559 yards, snagging two touchdowns, and adding 74 rushing yards with another score on the ground. The Ravens are definitely itching to get back in the win column after that Saints game. On the other side, the Cowboys are riding high after a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders. This sets up an intriguing clash between two offenses that are desperate to build some serious momentum. It’s not just a game; it’s a battle for bragging rights and a statement in Rio.
