Dallas went to Rio for a showcase and left with a gut punch.

The Cowboys fell to the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 on Sunday at Maracanã Stadium when Tyler Loop drilled a 56-yard field goal as time expired. Dallas had just tied it on Brandon Aubrey's 23-yard kick. Seven seconds later, the Ravens flipped the field and the season flipped to 1-2.

Dak Prescott went 25-of-40 for 276 yards and a touchdown. CeeDee Lamb had 7 catches for 112 yards. George Pickens added 7 for 82. Javonte Williams ran for 98 yards and a score on 19 carries, and the Cowboys finally cracked 100 rushing yards as a team this season.

The path here: loss at the Giants in Week 1 (20-28), big home win over Washington in Week 2 (37-20), then this Brazil thriller. Next up is a short week on the road — Week 4 at the Houston Texans, Sunday, Oct. 4, 1 p.m. CT on FOX at Reliant Stadium.

The secondary took more hits in Rio (Jalen Thompson and Shavon Revel did not return; Jonathan Bullard also did not return with a calf issue). Dallas already entered the game thin in the back end. We'll wait on the official Week 4 injury report before locking any availability claims.

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

Lamar Odom: Flesh and Blood

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness. Given that Odom's story as well as his whereabouts are uncertain and up-in-the-air at this time, the biggest issue at stake here is so much more than money, a reality TV drama, or a basketball hoop. His future livelihood as a healthy, spirited human being is under attack and in immediate jeopardy.
