Derrick Henry scored two rushing touchdowns to help the Baltimore Ravens overcome an early 10-0 deficit and take a 17-13 halftime lead over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Baltimore's opening 10 minutes included a punt, a missed fourth-down attempt, and a muffed kickoff before the team mounted a 17-point surge.
Henry's pair of scores and a 27-yard Tyler Loop field goal gave the Ravens control before Brandon Aubrey's 38-yard kick for Dallas cut the gap before the break.
Henry rushed for 47 yards on 13 carries in the first half, raising his season total to six touchdowns.
He also surpassed Eric Dickerson for ninth place on the NFL's all-time rushing list and tied Ray Rice for second in franchise history with 37 rushing touchdowns.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson added 22 rushing yards on two attempts, including a pivotal 21-yard scramble that sparked Baltimore's first touchdown drive.
Jackson completed 6 of 9 passes for 58 yards as the Ravens totaled 91 rushing yards on 19 carries.
Dallas generated 142 total yards to Baltimore's 149, with quarterback Dak Prescott completing 11 of 17 passes for 73 yards.
Javonte Williams recorded 55 rushing yards and a touchdown on 12 carries for the Cowboys.
Baltimore's defense limited Dallas to 2 conversions on 6 third-down attempts, supported by a Roquan Smith sack that marked his 700th career solo tackle and a tackle for loss by linebacker Trenton Simpson.
Injury issues affected both rosters in the second quarter, as Ravens tight end Mark Andrews suffered a hand injury after one catch for 9 yards.
