CeeDee Lamb put up the Cowboys' best receiving night of the Brazil trip and still walked off Maracanã watching a kick sail through someone else's uprights. Seven catches. One hundred twelve yards.

The two-point conversion that made it 24-21. The 49-yard strike that turned a goal-line stand into a go-ahead touchdown drive. Baltimore still won 34-31 on Tyler Loop's 56-yard field goal as time expired Sunday in Rio de Janeiro.

The Associated Press built the finish around Lamar Jackson's 27-yard throw to Zay Flowers, the timeout with one second left, and Loop's winner in front of an announced crowd of 72,792. DallasCowboys.com's recap centered Lamb and George Pickens (82 yards) behind Dak Prescott's 25-of-40, 276-yard, one-touchdown line.

The CBS Sports box confirms Lamb led Dallas with seven receptions; the 49-yarder came on second-and-9 from the Cowboys' 5 after Jaishawn Barham had dropped Derrick Henry for a loss on fourth-and-1 at the Dallas 1.

Two-point cut, then 96 yards the other way

Baltimore led 24-13 late in the third when Prescott found Jake Ferguson for a 19-yard touchdown. Dallas went for two. Prescott's low throw found Lamb, who adjusted and secured the catch to pull within three, the team site reported.

Barham's stand handed the offense the ball at the Dallas 4. Two snaps later Prescott hit Lamb deep down the left sideline to the Baltimore 46. Brevyn Spann-Ford's 19-yard catch kept the chains moving. KaVontae Turpin finished the seven-play, 96-yard march with a 9-yard touchdown run, and Dallas led 28-24 with 9:42 remaining.

Seven seconds that never became overtime

Jackson answered with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Matt Hibner at 1:30. Prescott moved Dallas back into range; a pass-interference flag on Nate Wiggins put the ball at the Ravens 2 with 23 seconds left, the AP recounted. An incomplete pass and a false start pushed the Cowboys to the 7.

Brandon Aubrey's 23-yard field goal tied it at 31 with seven seconds on the clock.

Jackson needed one completion. Loop needed one swing from 56 yards. Dallas fell to 1-2. Baltimore improved to 2-1. The Cowboys outgained the Ravens 415-378 and held the ball for 30:38, totals DallasCowboys.com highlighted in the aftermath, and still left Brazil on the wrong side of a walk-off kick.

Lamb touched every Dallas scoring surge after halftime - the two-point grab, the chunk play that opened the go-ahead drive, the volume that kept the final march alive. Next Sunday at Houston will ask for another version of that same night. The tape from Rio already shows what it looked like when it almost worked.
