Preseason to Settle Score for Fans of Redskins, Ravens
by Stephen D. Riley
Saturday’s preseason game between the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens is simply that: a preseason game, a mere exhibition contest for first team starters to flash a few highlights and a “Show-Me” showcase for scrappy rookies and desperate veterans. But for the fans of both teams, separated by a 45-minute drive on Interstate 295, the game is much more. It’s a “Brag Bowl” for football fans of both clubs who rarely get a chance to butt heads with their beltway rivals.
The Redskins and Ravens only play once every four regular seasons due to the current conference setup in the NFL. So preseason contests between the clubs serve as the fans’ appetizer while the pecking order in the league runs its course.
Similar to New York’s pair of counter conference teams in the Jets and Giants, who also meet once every four years, the preseason serves as the two cities’ annual gridiron boxing ring. Aside from their regular season meetings in ‘04 and ‘08, Washington and Baltimore have met every preseason since 2003.
While local radio stations, barbershops and nearby sports bars refer to it as a rivalry, the numbers suggest otherwise. Including both regular season meetings and preseason games, the Ravens lead the series, 6-1, dating back to ’03 and shutout Washington 23-0 last August. But even with a losing record in the Battle of the Beltway, Redskins fans remain optimistic. They point to the Easter addition of longtime Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb as a source of inspiration.
Ravens fans, however, are quick to counter with their own signal caller-on-the-rise in third-year man Joe Flacco. The two teams will trout out their high-priced stars on Saturday.
“There’s always been a behind-the-scenes rivalry with the D.C. area for us,” says 28-year-old Baltimore native and Ravens fan Charles Williams. “It’s not a New York/New Jersey or a Boston/Los Angeles type of affair though. It’s not a widely understood thing; it’s really just more with the residents. Anything remotely close to competitive, whether it’s the baseball teams or a high school game, we both want those bragging rights.”
Bragging rights will be on the line this weekend when the Ravens visit Landover’s FedEx Field. NFL pundits will cautiously point out that the preseason is nothing more than a series of tune-ups for teams as they ready for the regular season. And to a certain degree, the pundits would be right. But a deeper look into the game and one trip down Interstate 295 is all it takes to realize it’s certainly much more at stake.
“It’s strange really. It’s one of those rivalries that probably means more to the fans than it does to the teams,” says 33-year-old D.C. native and Redskins fan Chief Honesty-Bay. “Baltimore and D.C. had to share teams for a while before both cities got their teams in place. Before the [Washington] Nationals came, a lot of people here followed the [Baltimore] Orioles and before the Ravens came, the local football games being aired in Baltimore were Redskin and [Pittsburgh] Steelers games. So now that both cities have their teams in place, we can battle.”

(September 24, 2009) - If someone would have told a year ago the Baltimore Ravens allowed an opponent to record nearly 500 total offensive yards in a single game, that comment would’ve been readily dismissed.
Over the past decade, the Ravens have been known for producing one of the toughest defensive units in the NFL with stars like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed leading the attack.
But after two weeks of 2009 regular season play, Baltimore has uncharacteristically fell from the top 10 in defensive ranking, mostly because they allowed the San Diego Chargers to produce 474 offensive yards on Sept. 19 in a road game at Qualcomm Stadium.
Chargers’ quarterback Phillip Rivers accounted for most of those yards, passing for a career-high 436 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
But what may be more bizarre than the Ravens surrendering so many offensive yards is their new ability to still win games without a dominant defensive unit.
Baltimore improved to 2-0 on the season after escaping San Diego, 31-26, in the second consecutive game where they scored more than 30 points on offense. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco didn’t pass for 400-plus yards, but he did complete an efficient 17 of 26 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. He moved the Ravens into the red zone four times and each time they left with points.
As for the Ravens’ defensive unit, they were ripped for several passing yards, but whenever San Diego approached the red zone Baltimore would shut them down. On five separate drives inside the Ravens’ 20-yard line, the Chargers’ offense was held to -2 yards, along with a sack and three other tackles for a loss. Rivers, who passed for an 81-yard touchdown and a 35-yard touchdown early in the game, completed just two of seven passes for four yards in the red zone.
Lewis told the media in a post-game media conference that winning the red zone war is what separates champions from losers.
“I’ve been in games where we’ve held teams under a 150 total yards and that’s cute; stats are pretty, but if you don’t win, you’re sick, and the bottom line is when we didn’t let them in that end zone, that’s what I call our victory,” said Lewis, who made the game-saving tackle with his unit’s back against the end zone late in the fourth quarter against San Diego.
“If we win those red zone battles every time, we’ll win a lot of ball games.”
Baltimore will also win a lot of games if the offense continues to put up so many points. For the first time in Ravens history, the offensive attack matches the defensive attack, which has caused some football analysts to proclaim the Ravens as one of the most balanced teams in the league.
“Baltimore is the team to beat in the American Football Conference,” NFL commentator Steve Mariucci said during the “Total Access” program of the NFL Network. “We know they play defense. [But now] they’ve got a good, young quarterback they can run. They are a complete football team.”
