The Ravens moved to 2-0 this preseason after defeating the Cowboys, 31-13, Saturday night in Dallas.
Here's how it happened:
Turning Point
One play after the Ravens had a turnover, undrafted rookie defensive back Reuben Lowery made a leaping interception on a deep pass to the end zone in the second quarter. The takeaway returned possession to the Ravens and set up a 42-yard field goal that gave Baltimore a two-score lead heading into halftime.
Top Play
Keyon Martin was the first player to get either team on the board. The undrafted rookie cornerback came unblocked on a blitz to pummel Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton for a first-quarter safety. Martin's sack came one play after he had a tackle for a 5-yard loss.

Stock Watch
K Tyler Loop
Playing less than an hour away from his hometown, Loop gave his family plenty to cheer for. In his first NFL road game, the rookie made 5-of-6 field-goal attempts, including a late 53-yarder. His lone miss was wide left on a 50-yard attempt.
WR Devontez Walker
Walker carried his strong training camp play into Saturday's game. The second-year pass catcher had five receptions for 47 yards on the Ravens' first two drives and finished with six receptions for a game-high 61 yards. In a crowded wide receiver room, Walker continues to make his case for more snaps.
ILB Jay Higgins IV
Higgins forced one of the Ravens' two takeaways with a strip sack on Cowboys quarterback Will Grier in the fourth quarter, which outside linebacker Kaimon Rucker recovered. Higgins led the team with six tackles as he aims to make the roster as an undrafted rookie.

The Ravens will wrap up the preseason against the Washington Commanders on Aug. 23 at noon.
