Now, if only CeeDee Lamb didn't fumble later in the red zone ...

Aubrey, known for his accuracy from long distances, stepped up when the Cowboys’ drive stalled at the Baltimore 47-yard line, delivering a perfect kick down the middle to put Dallas on the board.

Aubrey’s kick , which came with 6:33 left in the first quarter, extended his streak of successful field goals from 50 yards or more to 15-for-15 for his short career. The Cowboys’ offense, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, managed to advance the ball into Ravens territory but couldn’t convert on third down, leaving it to Aubrey to salvage points. The 65-yarder was a testament to the kicker’s value as a reliable scoring option, keeping the Cowboys within reach early in the contest.

Prior to Aubrey’s field goal, the Cowboys found themselves on their heels after a fast Ravens start. Baltimore’s quarterback, Lamar Jackson, orchestrated a quick 71-yard drive capped by a 9-yard touchdown run. The Cowboys' defense struggled to contain Jackson’s playmaking, but Aubrey’s long-distance field goal provided a much-needed boost as Dallas looked to regain control of the game.

However, the Cowboys defense has yet to step up as they allowed the ravens to go right down the field on the next drive and make their lead 14-3.
