The Baltimore Ravens secured their record-breaking 20th-straight preseason win on Saturday with a dominant 37-3 victory over the Washington Football Team. Baltimore’s offense dominated for the whole night, and the Ravens’ defense stonewalled Washington’s offense for much of the contest.
On the night, quarterback Tyler Huntley was spectacular, finishing the game completing 24 of 33 passes for 285 yards and four passing touchdowns, as well as picking up 14 yards and another touchdown on six carries. He is the clear winner of Baltimore’s backup quarterback job, earning it with phenomenal play throughout all three preseason weeks.
Other standouts from the game include running backs Ty’Son Williams and Nate McCrary, as well as wide receivers Binjimen Victor and James Proche II. However, the story of the game unfortunately came in the first quarter with a huge part of the Ravens’ offense going down with a potentially serious injury.
J.K. Dobbins caught a screen pass and was hit low, which caused him to immediatly grab at his knee. He wasn’t able to put any weight on his leg, and was carted to the locker room. There’s always a risk of getting injured in football, and Baltimore now awaits MRI results on Dobbins.
On defense there were plenty of solid contributors including Chris Smith and Nigel Warrior. It was an all around effort for the defense, which held Washington to just three points and 1-of-11 on third down.
After ending the preseason with a bang, the Ravens will now shift their attention to cut down day as they will have to trim their roster to 53 players. Once that task is complete, the team will look to start the regular season with the same dominance that they ended the preseason with, taking on the Las Vegas Raiders in a Week 1 primetime matchup.
