The NFL doesn't appear ready to let concerns about the playing surface derail its historic game in Rio de Janeiro.

The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens are scheduled to meet Sunday at Maracanã Stadium, but the condition of the field has become a major storyline after soccer players who regularly play there publicly criticized the surface.

The NFL is aware of those concerns. A league spokesperson said the NFL is moving forward with the game and has a plan in place to ensure a high-quality playing surface, according to The Athletic. The NFLPA is also aware of the situation and has communicated with the league.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones isn't worried.

“I don’t have concerns only because the league has said full speed ahead,” Jones said, via The Athletic. “I think if there was a real concern, there would have already been contingent plans being made.”

Jones added that he trusts the NFL to do whatever is necessary to provide a safe surface.

“As far as I’m concerned, we’re full speed ahead and we’re ready to go to Rio.”

That's good news because the matchup itself should be one of Week 3's most fascinating.

Both Dallas and Baltimore enter at 1-1.

The Cowboys responded to their ugly season-opening loss to the Giants by beating Washington 37-20 on Sunday. Baltimore is headed in the opposite direction after following an impressive 41-23 victory over Indianapolis with a surprising 24-17 loss to New Orleans.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens suddenly need a response, while Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have an opportunity to build momentum.

Assuming the NFL gets the field into proper condition, Rio should receive quite the matchup for its first regular-season NFL game.
