Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys, September 22, 2024
- The Baltimore Ravens face the Dallas Cowboys for a Week 3 battle at AT&T Stadium (4:25 p.m. ET kickoff). Baltimore has dropped two tight contests to open the season (27-20 at KC & 26-23 vs. LV), while Dallas is coming off a 44-19 loss at home to New Orleans, following a 33-17 Week 1 win at Cleveland.
- In his 17th season with the Ravens, John Harbaugh stands as the NFL's second-longest-tenured coach (Mike Tomlin - 18). Under Harbaugh, Baltimore (11) is one of four teams (NE - 12, GB - 12 & KC - 11) to earn a playoff berth in at least 11 of the past 16 seasons. With QB Lamar Jackson at starter, the Ravens have also made the playoffs in five of the past six seasons.
- Baltimore holds a 5-1 all-time series lead vs. the Cowboys, including a 1-1 mark in the Lone Star State. Under Coach Harbaugh, the Ravens are 3-1 vs. the Cowboys (1-1 in Dallas), with these teams last meeting on a Tuesday night in Baltimore during the 2020 COVID-affected season (Ravens won, 34-17).
- After falling (26-23) to Las Vegas last Sunday, Baltimore started 0-2 for just the second time (2015) during Coach Harbaugh's 17-year tenure. The Ravens' defense allowed Vegas 260 total yards (233 passing & 27 rushing), while the offense registered 383 (232 passing & 151 rushing). Baltimore's overall yardage output wasn't enough, however, as the Raiders overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and ultimately kicked a 38-yard game winning FG with :27 seconds remaining. The Ravens posted 5 sacks, including 2.5 by OLB Odafe Oweh and 2 from OLB Kyle Van Noy. RB Derrick Henry rushed for a game-high 84 yards and 1 TD, while WR Zay Flowers had 7 catches for 91 yards and 1 TD.
