A preseason accomplishment can only carry so much weight. Though, the Baltimore Ravens' 24-game winning streak is something to behold, just due to the sheer improbability of such a feat and unpredictable nature of an exhibition matchup. Even so, a Washington Commanders player does not believe it should be lauded when offering his honest NSFW response.

“I think it's a stupid record,” offensive tackle Sam Cosmi told JP Finlay of NBC4 Sports ahead of Monday night's preseason battle with Baltimore. “I mean who gives a s**t about preseason games. If we beat it, great. We're gonna beat it.”

Despite viewing the outcome of the game as largely meaningless, Cosmi just added some more juice with his fiery comments. His take is not a bold one, of course, as many fans echo the sentiment. Preseason games can be crucial for a young player's development and can help determine position and roster battles, but the public's investment in the actual stakes of the contest is usually minimal.

Nothing supports the former All-Big 12 talent's stance more than the Detroit Lions' 4-0 preseason record in 2008. Those proved to be the team's only wins that year en route to an ignominious 0-16 regular season record.

What should be of interest to Sam Cosmi and the Commanders, however, is locking down the chemistry of the O-Line. Their job is now essential with Sam Howell officially being named starting quarterback. Giving the 22-year-old time in the pocket will be instrumental to Washington finding success in a loaded NFC East.

Expect Cosmi and his brothers in the trenches to be more focused on building an impenetrable fortress rather than ending the Ravens' preseason dominance.
