Lamar Jackson: I told Tyler Loop his legacy was starting now

Redemption arrived for Baltimore kicker Tyler Loop during an international NFL matchup in Rio when he nailed a game-winning 56-yard field goal against the Cowboys. Dallas had just knotted the score at 31 points apiece with only seven seconds remaining, but quarterback Lamar Jackson immediately orchestrated a 27-yard completion to Zay Flowers to stop the clock just in time.

Jackson revealed after the final whistle that he encouraged Loop on the sideline by telling him his legacy was beginning in Brazil. The clutch kick erased the lingering memory of Loop's pivotal miss at the conclusion of the previous regular season, securing a historic victory at the Maracaña.
