The Washington Commanders managed to snap the Baltimore Ravens’ impressive 24-game preseason win streak.
The victory came after Commanders Offensive Tackle Sam Cosmi’s bold proclamation that they would put an end to the streak earlier today, which he dismissed as “stupid.”
Early on Monday, Cosmi expressed his confidence in his team’s ability to break the record, stating, “I think it’s a stupid record. I mean, who gives a [expletive] about preseason games? If we beat it, great. We’re gonna beat it, so there you go.”
The Commanders managed to secure a nail-biting 29-28 victory over the Ravens, not only ending their long-standing preseason win streak but also proving Cosmi’s words to be prophetic.
Adding a touch of poetic justice to the victory, Sam Cosmi himself had the last laugh.
During the Commanders win, Cosmi celebrated by performing the Griddy dance, a joyful gesture that spoke volumes about the team’s victory and his confident words leading up to the game.
Earlier in the day, #Commanders OT Sam Cosmi said they'll end the #Ravens 24-0 win streak in the pre-season.
They did, so he did the griddy 😄
