The Cowboys (9-1) punted on their first four possessions — a first this season — against the No. 1-ranked defense of the Ravens (5-5). They marched 92 and 88 yards on their first two drives of the second half to break a 10-10 tie. Both drives ended with TD passes to Bryant, who had six catches for 80 yards.
The Ravens lost to Dallas for the first time in five games in franchise history.
