Tyler Loop’s 56-yard field goal as time expires lifts Ravens to 34-31 win over Cowboys
BALTIMORE — Sept. 27, 2026 — Tyler Loop kicked a 56-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The game ended after a two-play, 27-yard sequence that followed a pass from Lamar Jackson and an alert timeout that cleared the field for the attempt. The kick completed a comeback for Baltimore and sealed the final score, according to the Associated Press.
Brandon Aubrey tied the game with a 23-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining. Aubrey also made earlier field goals of 28 and 38 yards as Dallas rallied. Dallas had earlier scored on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott to Jake Ferguson and completed a two-point conversion on a Prescott pass to CeeDee Lamb to close the deficit.
Lamar Jackson threw a third-quarter touchdown pass to Chris Moore and later connected with Matthew Hibner for a fourth-quarter score that gave Baltimore a late lead. Tyler Loop added a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter and his 56-yarder as time expired completed the Ravens’ scoring. The sequence capped a comeback and preserved Baltimore’s 34-31 victory.
Dallas rallied to force the dramatic finish, highlighted by Prescott’s touchdown to Ferguson and the successful two-point conversion to Lamb. The Cowboys’ special teams kept them in the game with multiple Aubrey field goals, including the tying 23-yarder with seven seconds left. Allowing a two-play, 27-yard series that resulted in a 56-yard field goal as time expired underscored a late-game defensive lapse and will give Dallas clear areas to address in situational awareness and special-teams matchups.

The Cowboys showed resilience by rallying from behind and converting opportunities, but quick defensive breakdowns on a brief two-play series cost them the game. Baltimore capitalized on a late Jackson pass and an alert timeout to set up Loop’s long attempt, which proved decisive. Both teams displayed strengths, but Dallas must shore up late-game defensive execution and special-teams coverage to avoid a similar finish.
