For many of Dallas’ players, it’s their first time playing in a game outside of the United States. That’s the case for QB Dak Prescott, who is looking forward to the opportunity.<\/p>\n
“Super excited,” Prescott said. “Being 10 years in the league and I hadn’t played an international game, I’m excited for the travel. Just excited to go and play with the Cowboys across the world, just give the fans in Rio and Brazil a chance to see us in person, and just super excited for the experience.”<\/p>\n
One player who has experienced playing internationally is DT Solomon Thomas, who played in London with the Jets in 2024.<\/p>\n
“I feel like it’s always cool to play the sport somewhere else,” Thomas said. “It’s going to be a long trip, it’s gonna be hard, but it’s gonna be fun to play in a different country and travel somewhere I’ve never been, and I’m excited for it.”<\/p>\n
And for Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, the trip to Rio is a full circle one of sorts. Once a soccer player, it was always a goal to play in an iconic stadium like Maracan\u00e3 Stadium, and now he’ll get the chance to do so.<\/p>\n
“I’m very excited,” Aubrey said. “I’ve always wanted to play international games, and I’ve actually been to Brazil when I was a little kid playing soccer. So it’s a mecca. This stadium in particular in Rio for soccer players, I’m excited to be there. Wish I was good enough to play a soccer game there, but you know, I’ll take a football game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For many of Dallas’ players, it’s their first time playing in a game outside of the United States.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[10058,114,102,104,103,49365,2638,1090,3592,24107],"class_list":{"0":"post-154463","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-brandon-aubrey","9":"tag-dak-prescott","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-dallas-headlines","12":"tag-dallas-news","13":"tag-featured-offseason-2026","14":"tag-jerry-jones","15":"tag-news-all-news","16":"tag-news-tommy-yarrish","17":"tag-solomon-thomas"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
