The Dallas Cowboys might have saved their season on Sunday, but they must quickly turn the page to Week 3, when they lock horns with the Baltimore Ravens (also 1-1) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The NFL has staged two games in Brazil before, but this will be the first in Rio, the country's second-largest city.
The Ravens are coming off a frustrating Week 2 loss after blowing a fourth-quarter lead at home to the New Orleans Saints. Lamar Jackson is playing at an MVP level, and Cowboys fans surely remember Derrick Henry running all over Mike Zimmer's defense at AT&T Stadium two years ago.
Henry scampered for 156 yards and two touchdowns on 6.0 yards per carry, with Jackson adding 87 yards and a TD at 6.2 YPC.
First-year play-caller Declan Doyle got away from Henry in the second half of Baltimore's loss to the Saints, but rest assured, Dak Prescott won't have a chance to lead Dallas to a victory if the defense allows Henry and Jackson to treat Maracaña Stadium like their playground.
This is a massive litmus test for the Cowboys, and we'll have you covered all week leading up to Sunday. From the latest injury news to key storylines to watch and everything else you need to know, make sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly.

Cowboys Injury Report for Week 3
No surprises here. Brian Schottenheimer all but ruled out cornerback Cobie Durant (hamstring) and safety P.J. Locke (torn plantar fascia). Both players were injured in Week 2. Don't expect either to practice this week. It remains a possibility that Locke goes on injured reserve, which would knock him out for a minimum of four weeks.

Biggest Cowboys storylines heading into Week 3
Can the Dallas defense contain Lamar Jackson?
As we noted earlier, the Cowboys don't stand a chance of winning if Jackson takes over the game with his legs. The good news? Jackson isn't as willing to run as he was earlier in his career. He struggled with a hamstring injury last season and seems far more selective about when he chooses to run.
When he does take off, though, he's remarkably efficient. In two games, Jackson has carried 11 times for 74 yards and two scores. It's early, but that 6.7 YPC would be his best mark since 2022.
