## Jackson and Loop's past failure
Lamar Jackson pulled off late-game heroics 266 days earlier, but Tyler Loop missed right. The Steelers went to the playoffs. The Ravens went home.
## Jackson's emotional reaction
Jackson said, 'We did all that to come up short. Devastating. Furious. I thought we had it in the bag. I don't know what else we can do.'

Since 2022, the Ravens have lost 10 games in which they led by eight or more points in the second half, most in the NFL.
## Cowboys' comeback drive
After the Cowboys cut Baltimore's lead to three, the Ravens embarked on a long drive, only for Derrick Henry to get stuffed on fourth-and-goal from the Dallas 1-yard line.
## Ravens' last-second win
Jackson delivered a 27-yard dime to Zay Flowers with one second left, and Loop nailed a 56-yarder to beat the Cowboys 34-31 in steamy Rio de Janeiro.
## Team celebration
Ravens players streamed across the famed Maracanã Stadium to lift their kicker on their shoulders, Jackson screaming 'Let's go!' the entire way.
## Minter's defense
Jesse Minter said, 'Major credit to those guys straining all the way to the end.' He has stressed 'Being the best when our best is required' ever since he arrived this offseason.
