The Baltimore Ravens have won 24 consecutive preseason games, with their last preseason loss coming back on Sept. 3, 2015.
While no one cares about a preseason record, the Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh take pride in the streak.
“It’s important to them for the rest of their life, and therefore it’s important to me,” Harbaugh recently said. “So, it’s meaningful in that sense, but we’re playing a game. We have a lot of goals, a lot of things that we’re trying to accomplish.”
On Monday night, the Ravens come down to FedEx Field for a preseason game with the Washington Commanders. The two teams were together last week for a pair of joint practices, and tempers flared.
Commanders right guard Sam Cosmi isn’t that impressed with the Ravens’ preseason streak.
“I think it’s a stupid record,” Cosmi said when JP Finlay asked him if he had thought about Baltimore’s streak. “I mean, who gives a s–t about preseason games. I mean, if we beat it, great…..we’re going to beat it, so there we go.”

That should go over well with Ravens fans.
Washington has lost multiple preseason games to the Ravens since 2015. Could Monday be the night this streak ends?
