Ravens Rout Commanders to cap preseason; Pinter out

7 sourcesUpdated Aug 29, 2026

The Baltimore Ravens capped their NFL preseason with a 41-3 rout of the Washington Commanders, finishing 3-0 in exhibitions. Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano each threw a touchdown in a high-percentage first half, with rookie and backup contributors helping Baltimore post a 456-177 yard advantage and 26-7 in first downs. The defense limited Washington to 177 total yards and 1-for-12 on third down, while special teams woes surfaced as kicker Tyler Loop missed two long field goals. Highlights included a 25-yard TD pass from Huntley to Chris Moore and a 10-yard TD catch by LaJohntay Wester. A notable development is center Danny Pinter being out for the season, a setback that will impact regular-season depth. Head coach Jesse Minter will be encouraged by health and depth heading into the opener, even as Washington’s offense struggled.
