The Cincinnati Bengals face the Washington Commanders on Saturday, August 26, 2023 (8/26/23) at FedExField in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
LANDOVER, Md. — Sam Howell was still in middle school the last time the Baltimore Ravens had lost a preseason game.Washington’s new starting quarterback threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns as the Commanders edged the Ravens 29-28 on a last-minute field goal. Joey Slye converted from 49 yards, sending the remaining home fans into a state of jubilation not often seen in recent years at FedEx Field.
The back-and-forth thriller featured five lead changes and led Ravens coach John Harbaugh to rebuke those who call preseason football meaningless. Howell was named the starting quarterback last Friday, and showed why the Commanders are putting their faith in the second-year passer in a crucial year for coach Ron Rivera and new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
Johnson finished 10 of 12 for 145 yards and two touchdowns, as well as one end zone interception where the ball fell through the arms of receiver James Proche II and into the waiting hands of Commanders defensive back Quan Martin.
