The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Washington Football Team, 37-3, in the final preseason game for both teams at FedEx Field on Saturday evening.
The game meant very little for Washington in regards to the standings. After all, head coach Ron Rivera sat all of his starters for the preseason finale. For Washington, this was all about evaluation. Rivera and his staff wanted to get an extended look at several young players as the team spends the next couple of days getting its roster down to 53 players.
Some of Washington’s young players had good moments, despite the score. Others struggled.
Meanwhile, the game had a different meaning for the Ravens, who won their 20th consecutive preseason game.
As you might expect, Twitter had plenty of reactions regarding Washington’s putrid performance — and Baltimore’s meaningless winning streak.
This is awwwwwffffuuuuuullll

Not to read too much into preseason results, but Washington's 2nd-team defense has had seven drives against Baltimore's 3rd-string QB Tyler Huntley, and they've ended this way:
Touchdown

I’ll take a full and healthy roster over 20 straight preseason wins #WashingtonFootball

Week to week. Washington literally got rolled over twice in the regular season and still made the playoffs the same year. Yet people overreacting over a preseason game with Kyle Allen.

Is it too much to ask for our 2nd unit to be able to tackle as well? 🤦🏼♀️ #WashingtonFootball

Preseason sensation Jaret Patterson has dropped both of the passes Kyle Allen has thrown him tonight. He should make the roster but this has been his worst showing of August so far. #WashingtonNFL

Nice catch by Reyes. Would like to have seen him get a bit more depth there. Just needed 5 yards.

On the night the Ravens won their 20th straight preseason game, now the longest streak in NFL history, they also suffered a loss at running back. One feels much more significant than the other.
