The NFL is continuing to build its reach across more than just the United States. This year it will again feature a game in Brazil. This matchup will take place in Week 3 on Sunday, Sept. 27, at the Maracanã Stadium. Trojan receiver and now Baltimore Raven Ja’Kobi Lane will have a rookie experience like no other, suiting up and playing in Rio in his first NFL season.
The Dallas Cowboys made a ton of great moves this offseason to improve their defense, and their offense should not miss a beat. The Baltimore Ravens, after 18 seasons, finally moved on from head coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens are bringing in a new culture with head coach Jessie Minter. The offseason will look different, too, as offensive coordinator and former coordinator for the Chicago Bears last season, Declan Doyle, will get his chance to run his offense.
An offense with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry should put on a show for Brazil, as well as the electrifying Dallas Cowboys offense featuring Dak Prescott and his weapons, George Pickens, and CeeDee Lamb. With the secondary still being an attack point in the Cowboys’ defense, the Ravens’ weapons could have a more favorable matchup.
Ja’Kobi Lane, being a big body outside threat, could have fit in this match-up and had a big game to kick off his rookie season in a fun environment. Nevertheless, he and the Ravens will put on a show vs the formidable Dallas Cowboys.
