Even after such a heartbreaking loss, Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey never forgot what “game recognize game” truly means.
Following the Cowboys’ stunning and painful 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aubrey made sure to meet his Ravens counterpart, Tyler Loop, on the field before heading into the locker room.
Here is a video of the brief interaction between the two NFL kickers.

Loop was undeniably Baltimore’s hero in the game, redeeming himself and atoning for his missed field goal in Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which left the Ravens missing the boat to the playoffs.
Several months later, Loop nailed a 56-yard field goal as time expired to give Baltimore the win in Week 3.
Aubrey tied the score at 31-31 with a 23-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter. But just when it looked like the game was going to overtime, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with wide receiver Zay Flowers for a 27-yard gain with a second left.
After a timeout, Loop stepped up and delivered the game-winning field goal, ending one of the most memorable finishes in recent memory.
