Washington was back on the field Tuesday for day 18 of training camp. With the preseason finale just days away, head coach Ron Rivera is treating the entire week as a normal game week in the regular season.
Washington faces the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, who enter the game on a 19-game preseason winning streak.
While Rivera respects the Ravens, he didn’t appear too impressed with their preseason winning streak.
.@michaelpRTD: "The Ravens have won 19 straight preseason games. Does that do anything for you?"
Ron Rivera: "What's one of my catchphrases? That's interesting."
(One of Rivera's catchphrases is to "focus on what's important, not what's interesting.")
