Commanders Look to Snap Ravens' Record-Breaking Streak
The Baltimore Ravens are winners of 24 straight preseason games, and that record will be back on the line Monday night when they visit the Washington Commanders.
Baltimore's win last Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles marked the 24th straight preseason victory for the Ravens, a streak that spans all the way back to 2015. The last time Baltimore lost in the preseason was on Sep. 3, 2015 when the Atlanta Falcons defeated them in another game that ended 20-19 on a failed two-point conversion.
The NFL recognizes their 24-game win streak as the longest in the history of the preseason. The second-longest streak was 19 games by the Green Bay Packers from 1959-1962.
The Commanders have contributed the most losses in the streak, losing five times to the Ravens.
The entirety of the streak has happened with John Harbaugh as the head coach. Harbaugh has been at the helm for Baltimore since 2008 and won the Super Bowl in 2012.
"That's a credit to Coach Harbaugh and the rest of this organization that this streak has been able to go on for so long," Ravens quarterback Josh Johnson said. "With so many different guys playing in the preseason and to go over there and play above the standard, as he likes to state."
The Commanders hope to snap the streak on Monday night against the Ravens. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. on ESPN.
