ANALYSIS/OPINION:
NFL action — or at least the facsimile known as exhibition football — returned to FedEx Field Thursday for the first time since December, when Philadelphia laid a 24-0 whupping on the Washington Redskins.
Philadelphia will be the opponent in three weeks, when the regular season begins and everything matters. By then, the details of preseason game No. 2 will be long forgotten, as will roughly three dozen players who suited up in the ‘Skins 23-13 loss against Cincinnati.
But there is one memory worth savoring, a treat that made attendance worthwhile, Members of the sparse crowd have bragging rights for life.
