The Ravens say their 40-17 loss in Philadelphia doesn’t change their outlook on this Saturday’s third preseason game against the Washington Redskins.
But there’s no doubt that the starters’ final tune-up before the regular season takes on added significance than your average preseason contest. It’s the game in which the starters will see their most action yet.
“I think it is really important – nothing to do with the second game – but more just so we can go into Week 1 and have as high a level of confidence as we possibly can,” quarterback Joe Flacco said Thursday.
