Ravens vs. Commanders MNF GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Washington Commanders host regional rival Baltimore on a national Monday Night Football stage as the Ravens hope to extend their 24-game preseason winning streak.
While the Ravens and their fans might be excited to brag about the exhibition streak, Commanders' offensive lineman Sam Cosmi doesn't care in the least.
"I think it's a stupid record!" Cosmi said via NBC Sports' JP Finlay. "Who gives a s*** about preseason games? "If we beat it, great. We're gonna beat it, so there you go."
That's just one of the storylines to follow as the two teams tangle in the second-of-three preseason contest for each organization. The two DMV-based teams participated in a couple of festive joint practices this past week that included a WWE-style body slam of corner Danny Johnson that resulted in a rotator cuff injury to Johnson.
Coach Ron Rivera has already announced Sam Howell will be the Week 1 starter, so Howell should see some action on Monday night.
“I didn't have doubt, but I wanted to get through Baltimore [joint practices]," Rivera said. "To me, I thought that was where it would've come to a head, that you go out there and just lay an egg. But no, he came out that first practice and he was on.
"He made a couple mistakes, things that most certainly are correct him and things he'll learn as he grows. But for the long haul, for the future of us going forward, I really do believe that Sam's the guy we're gonna go with.”
