The Baltimore Ravens were involved in another bus accident, this time on their way to play the New England Patriots. 

It’s been a rough season for bus drivers in the NFL as two teams have been involved in as many as three incidents involving team buses crashing into things they’re not supposed to. The most infamous of these crashes occurred in Minnesota, where the Washington Redskins team buses slammed into each other in perhaps the most fitting metaphor ever.

But while that crash was bad, the luck of the Baltimore Ravens is even worse. At least the Redskins only got into one accident, which is something the Ravens cannot say. While it wasn’t on their way to the stadium on gameday, the Ravens have now been involved in two bus crashes in one season — the latest of which occurring in Rhode Island on Friday night.

According to CSN Baltimore, the Ravens team bus was involved in a minor accident on Friday when a parked car was sideswiped. No one was injured and the damage doesn’t seem to be serious, but the Ravens bus driving reputation is about as low as it gets.

This comes just a fe months after an incident in New Orleans when the Ravens arrived to play the Saints on Monday Night. The accident was minor then as well, but it also occurred well before the game was set to be played but just as the team was arriving.

It’s worth mentioning though, that the first time the Ravens were in a bus accident, they went out and beat the Saints 34-27 in a tight game they had to come back and win. So if you’re thinking that the bus crash is a bad omen, it may actually be what the Ravens need to do ignored to jar themselves into a winning mood.
