C OAC H H A R B S S AY S COACH HARBAUGH ON THE RAVENS 19-GAME PRESEASON WIN STREAK: “There are going to be people that say this doesn’t mean anything, and there are going to be people who look at it and say, ‘Wow, that’s something.’ I think everything is something. I’m of the belief that everything has meaning in life. So, if we’re doing it, it’s worth doing, it matters, and it’s worth doing well. If you want to look at the big picture of it, all those young players that were out there playing, those guys should all take pride in that. All those guys that were part of that over those years should be proud about that, because it’s something that only one other team has ever done.”
