Which team had the best point differential in the 2026 NFL preseason?

The Baltimore Ravens had the best point differential in the 2026 NFL preseason, finishing at plus-65.

Point differential is calculated by subtracting points allowed from points scored. Baltimore scored 78 points and conceded 13, producing a difference of 65 points.

The Ravens’ differential was the strongest in the preseason standings. It exceeded Buffalo’s plus-40 and Cincinnati’s plus-37, even though all three clubs completed the preseason with 3–0 records.

Point differential is useful because it shows margin of performance rather than simply wins and losses. However, preseason margins should be interpreted carefully: teams rotate players, experiment with tactics and often protect key starters from heavy workloads.
