Lamar Jackson told reporters that he is not worried about the condition of the playing surface as the Baltimore Ravens prepare to travel to Brazil for the NFL’s first game in Rio de Janeiro.
The game, scheduled for tomorrow, will be played at the historic Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, where the Ravens will face the Dallas Cowboys in a high‑profile International Series matchup.
Jackson, who has been a key factor for the Ravens this season, said that the focus of the team is on their own preparation rather than on the state of the field.
With the game set to be the first NFL contest in Rio, the Ravens’ coaching staff and players are concentrating on strategy and conditioning as they head to South America.
The NFL’s expansion into international venues continues to bring American football to new audiences, and the Ravens’ trip to Brazil marks a significant milestone for the league’s global ambitions.
