The Ravens and Cowboys don’t have a long history since they play in different conferences, having faced off just seven times. Baltimore leads the series 6-1, with Dallas’ only win coming in 2016, a 27-17 victory. Both teams have high-profile quarterbacks, but Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott have only squared off twice, with Jackson’s Ravens winning both matchups.

Unless these two start meeting in the Super Bowl, we don’t expect a true rivalry anytime soon.
