Thursday Night Football Week 1 2013

Welcome to NFL season everybody. I am back for another season, hopefully of equal quality as the years before. We begin this season with...

The Denver Broncos hosting the defending Super Bowl champions, the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore led off with a first quarter touchdown pass by Joe Flacco to Vonta Leach, a 2 yard connection, followed by a Justin Tucker extra point. Denver tied the game with a second quarter touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to Julius Thomas for 24 yards, and Matt Prater tied the game with the extra point. The Ravens took the lead back as Ray Rice ran 1 yard for a touchdown, and Tucker knocked in the extra point. The Broncos retied the game as Manning found Julius Thomas again for a 23 yard touchdown pass, and Prater was true with the extra point. Baltimore got the lead back just before halftime with a field goal of 25 yards by Tucker. Denver regained the lead in the third quarter as Manning tossed a 28 yard touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell, setting up Prater for another extra point. The Broncos extended the lead when Manning found Wes Welker for a 5 yard touchdown connection, and Prater booted the PAT. Denver kept going as Manning and Welker connected for a 2 yard touchdown, and Prater once again supplied the extra point. The Broncos padded the lead in the fourth quarter as Manning sent Demaryius Thomas a 26 yard touchdown pass, and Prater again kicked the extra point. The Ravens got some back on a Flacco touchdown pass to Marlon Brown, good for 13 yards, and Tucker was there to make the extra point. Baltimore got some more with a Tucker 30 yard field goal. Denver added insult to injury as Manning threw his seventh touchdown pass of the game, caught by Demaryius Thomas, for 78 yards, and Prater did what he does best, kick the extra point. This produced the final score of 49-27, with the Broncos starting the season at 1-0 and the Ravens' title defense beginning at 0-1.
