Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, has expressed confidence in the playing conditions at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro for the upcoming NFL game against the Baltimore Ravens. During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan with The Athletic’s Jon Machota, Jones stated that he is "comfortable" with the field's condition, despite concerns raised by local soccer players about the quality of the natural grass.
The stadium recently hosted soccer events, leading to questions about the turf's suitability for an NFL game. While acknowledging the possibility of moving the game if serious concerns arose, Jones emphasized that no such contingency has been put in place, indicating that the league believes the game can proceed as scheduled. The Cowboys are currently 1-1 in their season opener, having won a convincing 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders, with Dak Prescott throwing four touchdown passes.
While the team has some areas to improve, particularly the run game, Jones is not treating the Brazil field as a major concern, suggesting that Dallas has no reason to alter its plans for the Sunday matchup.
