Ravens, Cowboys have no worries about the field ahead of Brazil matchup

[p]The two clubs are 1-1 and desperate for a win on the third Sunday of the NFL season.[/p][p]Players on both teams said they expected their league to ensure a good playing surface despite comments from soccer players about sub-standard field conditions in the wake of a match last week at the iconic Maracana Stadium.[/p][p][b]"I believe the NFL does a great job at having their specialists go out there and look over the fields. I can't worry about that,"[/b] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/baltimore-ravens/pUern3T0/"]Ravens[/a] quarterback [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jackson-lamar/niWBe4T5/"]Lamar Jackson[/a] said.[/p][p][b]"We've played on bad fields plenty of times, so I cannot really dwell on that,"[/b] the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player added, saying he was focused on a win. [b]"I just have to worry about getting us a 'dub' in Brazil."[/b][/p][p]Ravens safety [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hamilton-kyle/dzczDuTk/"]Kyle Hamilton[/a] said the issue [b]"is not really in the forefront of my mind."[/b][/p][embed guid="839adf25-f7cc-4471-810e-0c1680684fb0" url="https://x.com/SportsCenter/status/2102885652035424311?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]"Players are the product in this league,"[/b] Hamilton said. [b]"I am sure the league knows that and they're doing their best to put us in the position to be safe."[/b][/p][p]Added Baltimore cornerback [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/humphrey-marlon/IB8Wykyp/"]Marlon Humphrey[/a]:[b] "If we got to play on some concrete, we will play on some concrete. I'm hoping those reports aren't true."[/b][/p][p]With both teams needing a victory, it's not just a relaxing stay after a 10-hour flight to South America.[/p][p][b]"I'm excited,"[/b] Jackson said.[b] "But at the end of the day, it's a business trip for us. It is not to go have fun, to sightsee, or anything like that."[/b][/p][p][b]"I think our hotel is in a pretty cool place with a decent view. Get close to the beach, probably not go out on it, but it's close enough," [/b]Hamilton said.[/p][embed guid="f8372cc7-4fd2-4e4d-b2c3-abf8c244f493" url="https://x.com/Ravens/status/2103209413771141324?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][h2]Cowboys prepare[/h2][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/dallas-cowboys/S8sFw8iL/"]Cowboys[/a] head coach Brian Schottenheimer said officials had time to ensure field quality.[/p][p][b]"We talked a little bit with the operations people,"[/b] Schottenheimer said. [b]"The league seems to feel like everything is going to be fine.[/b][/p][p][b]"I have no concerns. I'm aware of some of the quotes and stuff, but again, I trust that the league's going to make the right decision and they'll get the field up to standard."[/b][/p][p][/p][p]Even so, he said the team has asked players to use cleats with better traction.[/p][embed guid="c1460b8d-c097-415c-a0e2-b711a540738f" url="https://x.com/maracana/status/2103216151232917893?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]"We expect the field to be fine. We have backup plans in place,"[/b] Schottenheimer said. [b]"These guys have to wear things that make them feel comfortable. If they're slipping, that's going to be on them."[/b][/p][p]Some players don't care what they run upon.[/p][p][b]"Let's play. I don't have questions," [/b]said Cowboys receiver [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lamb-ceedee/St2fNay8/"]CeeDee Lamb[/a]. [b]"I'm going to be out there, so it is what it is."[/b][/p][p]Cowboys tight end [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ferguson-jake/KCt7udHg/"]Jake Ferguson[/a] said he was thrilled to be a global ambassador for the NFL but adopted the "business trip" approach as well.[/p][p][b]"To be able to take it all over the world is a beautiful thing,"[/b] he said. [b]"We're not going for leisure or for sightseeing. When you view it that way, it's easier to lock in."[/b][/p][p]Sunday's other top NFL contests include the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/los-angeles-chargers/K0iU7PXK/"]Los Angeles Chargers[/a] at Buffalo, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kansas-city-chiefs/vienoNr7/"]Kansas City[/a] at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/miami-dolphins/WQivmqEf/"]Miami[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/cincinnati-bengals/bwahmpRr/"]Cincinnati[/a] at Pittsburgh, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/seattle-seahawks/f5h1oOee/"]Seattle[/a] at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/washington-commanders/pYobX5Ul/"]Washington[/a], Minnesota at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tampa-bay-buccaneers/40on8pjK/"]Tampa Bay[/a], Arizona at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/san-francisco-49ers/jBnfYoFr/"]San Francisco[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/las-vegas-raiders/Ei4Qg76E/"]Las Vegas[/a] at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-orleans-saints/lSi5prB1/"]New Orleans[/a] and the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/los-angeles-rams/z7hZioyR/"]Los Angeles Rams[/a] at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/denver-broncos/l22ZmPbl/"]Denver[/a], while Monday finds [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/philadelphia-eagles/dGgVhRLK/"]Philadelphia[/a] at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chicago-bears/2clovUM8/"]Chicago[/a].[/p][infobox id="20b251ad-200b-415c-a27c-559697b10377" /]
