Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are finally rolling after a rough start to the year. Coming off a Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, Dallas answered with a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday, and Prescott set the tone by completing 26 of his 31 attempts for 279 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions.

He chipped in 26 rushing yards on four carries, too. CeeDee Lamb was his top target, hauling in eight catches for 153 yards and two scores, and Jake Ferguson found the end zone twice as well.

Buried in the box score was a milestone. Prescott’s 24-yard fourth-quarter connection with Lamb was touchdown pass No. 249 of his career, pushing him past Tony Romo for the most in franchise history.

Now 1-1, the Cowboys are shifting focus to a trip unlike anything else on their schedule. Dallas heads to Rio de Janeiro for a Week 3 clash with the Baltimore Ravens, marking the first regular-season NFL game ever staged in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It’s also the Cowboys’ first regular-season game outside the U.S. since 2014, and they’ll serve as the designated home team at Maracana Stadium.

The Cowboys’ Week 3 Travel Schedule

The travel plan starts with three straight practice days in Frisco before Dallas departs for Rio on Thursday night.

The team lands Friday morning, holds practice at Flamengo’s training facility, then runs through a Saturday walkthrough at Maracana ahead of kickoff.

Once the game wraps, the Cowboys fly straight back, touching down at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on Monday morning.
