The Commanders ended the Ravens‘ NFL-record, 24-game preseason winning streak on Monday, as Washington defeated Baltimore 29–28 on a late-game field goal. The loss marked the first time since 2015 that the Ravens lost a game in preseason.
While the winning streak initially didn’t mean much, it gained popularity as Baltimore kept winning preseason games to extend the streak. While most fans don’t care about the results of preseason games, Ravens games became the exception as a result.
After the clocks at Washington’s FedExField officially hit zero, NFL fans and analysts reacted to some team finally ending Baltimore’s impressive streak, whether it was in celebration or in memoriam.
