In a tightly contested matchup, the Baltimore Ravens topped the Dallas Cowboys 21-13 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to establish momentum early in the season, this victory serves as a significant boost for Baltimore as they look to build on their playoff aspirations. Lamar Jackson was the standout performer for the Ravens, throwing for an impressive 355 yards and three touchdowns. His connection with Zay Flowers proved crucial, as Flowers racked up 123 receiving yards, consistently finding ways to stretch the field and create big plays. The Ravens’ offense showcased its versatility, capitalizing on Dallas’ defensive lapses to secure the win. Defensively, the Cowboys struggled to contain Jackson and were unable to generate consistent pressure, except for Malachi Lawrence's lone sack. The turning point came in the second quarter when Jackson tossed a touchdown pass to solidify the Ravens' lead, forcing Dallas to play catch-up for the remainder of the game. While Caleb Downs led the Cowboys with eight tackles, it wasn't enough to shift the momentum in their favor as Baltimore held on for the victory.
