No one is going to convince John Harbaugh that the Baltimore Ravens' historic streak lacks meaning because it occurred in an otherwise meaningless part of the NFL calendar.
With a 20-3 rout of the Carolina Panthers, the Ravens won their 19th straight preseason game, which unofficially ties an NFL record. The Vince Lombardi-era Packers won 19 exhibition games in a row from 1959 to 1962 -- ending just weeks before Ravens coach John Harbaugh was born.
"All those guys who were a part of that over those years should be proud tonight of that because it's something only one other team has ever done -- the Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
