The Baltimore Ravens extended their hilarious,—yet impressive—streak of preseason wins to 19 by trouncing the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. This tied Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers for the longest such streak in NFL history.
While preseason games are mere scrimmages designed to get special teams reps and provide opportunity for back-of-the-roster-players, it’s hard to entirely dismiss what the Ravens have done. Dating back to the start of the streak, Baltimore has won every regular season opener. John Harbaugh’s Ravens have blown out their opponents in Week 1, with four being by three scores or more.
