Commanders quarterback Sam Howell was 19-of-28 with 188 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Jake Fromm was 10-of-16 with 91 passing yards and a touchdown pass.
"It’s really not a real game, but at the same time whatever team you’re on, you want to win," Howell said. "Especially knowing what they had on the other side with their little streak."
The Ravens’ 24-game preseason winning streak came to an end with the defeat. Baltimore’s streak surpassed the Green Bay Packers’ record of 19 in the 1950s.

"You never played the game," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "You never were out there in a preseason game; you never were fighting for a spot on the field. And yet you have the audacity to say that the effort that somebody puts into that, to fight and win a game like that, is meaningless.
"I can’t respect anybody that says that – because of the effort these guys put into it. And that’s why I’m so proud of these guys, for the way they fought. It doesn’t matter, win or loss. It matters the way they went about their business. And I’m proud of that and always will be."
