Cowboys Face Ravens in Brazil, Global Growth Grind

0:00On April 3rd, Dallas Cowboys gearing up for a big international clash in week 3 of the 2026 season, facing off against the Baltimore, Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This one's counted as a home game for Dallas, so they lose a slot at AT&T Stadium back stateside. Sources say it's hitting late September, first major lead push into Brazil football territory. Travel headaches incoming though, since it's early in the year, with no bi-week buffer. Players jet south, battle jet lag, then bounce back for whatever's next, road or home. Leads all about global growth, but timing like this amps the grind right when teens are finding their rhythm. Fans and insiders mixed on it, some hype for the exposure, others griping like the rider who hates skipping that recovery week. Cowboys history abroad? Mostly pre-season Johnson's 86, spots like London, Mexico City, even Tokyo. Their only regular season win overseas was a solid 31-17 beat down on Jacksonville

1:02in London, back in 2014. Now there are 1-0 in games that count internationally, but Ravens bring heat early season. No word yet on Weeks 1 or 2 opponents, so Dallas better snag a winter 2 stateside, first to build momentum before passport stamp. Leagues expanding the map, Cowboys leading the charge again, keep eyes peeled how they handle the bounce back.
