INTERVIEW — TREVOR MATICH – WMAL’s Redskins Analyst, Comcast SportsNet co-host and former Redskins long snapper

Washington Redskins 3 – 23 Baltimore Ravens

Football’s back! Oh, wait, the Redskins were pretty brutal to watch. BALTIMORE — Football is back! Huzzah and hurrah, football has arrived! Professional football — our prized autumn diversion, our soap opera in shoulder pads, our gladiators on grass — has finally, lovingly arrived. And, huh, actually, this initial rendition was kind of awful. There are two ways to interpret the Washington Redskins’ long-awaited return to the field Thursday night, a 23-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Maybe the whole thing meant absolutely nothing — not in the grander we’re-all-gonna-die sense but in the first-preseason-games-are-pointless sense. In that reading, let’s hope you only checked in on the Redskins and Ravens during baseball commercial breaks.
