The 2013 NFL Schedule: Week One
The 2013 NFL schedule opener is a rematch of a wild divisional round playoff matchup. The Ravens went in to Denver and stunned the top-seeded Broncos, 38-35, in double-overtime last January. The Ravens forced overtime when Flacco connected on a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones late in the fourth quarter.
The Ravens then went on to knock off the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game en route to beating the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31, in Super Bowl XLVII.
