The Dallas Cowboys faced a tough defeat against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, losing 34-31 in Brazil. The game ended dramatically, with the Cowboys allowing a significant pass play in the final moments, leading to a last-second field goal by the Ravens that sealed their loss.

In addition to the defeat, the Cowboys received troubling news regarding safety Jalen Thompson, who sustained a hamstring injury during the game. According to Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones, Thompson is likely to be sidelined for more than four weeks. Jones mentioned on @1053thefan that the team would be seeking assistance at the safety position, given the existing injuries.

The Cowboys' defense has already shown vulnerabilities this season, having struggled against the New York Giants in their opening game and allowing Marcus Mariota to perform well in Week 2. With a current record of 1-2, the Cowboys are looking to address their defensive issues quickly.

Next week, the Cowboys will face the Houston Texans, who are still searching for their first win of the season at 0-3. The matchup is set for next Sunday at 1:00 PM ET in Houston. The Cowboys' ability to rebound from their recent struggles will be tested as they prepare for this crucial game.
