Peyton Manning records seven touchdown passes in win over Ravens (2013).
Peyton Manning and the Broncos were out for revenge against the Ravens to open the 2013 season after Baltimore sent Denver packing in the 2012 divisional round of the playoffs.
Most Broncos fans remember the heartbreaking last second loss to the Ravens in which Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco found a wide open Jacoby Jones for the monster touchdown. If you don’t remember it, that is because it’s to painful, and you have repressed it deep within you. I don’t blame you for that, my friend.
Still, the fact the Ravens ended the Broncos season a year prior made this Manning performance all that more enjoyable, as the Sheriff put the beat down on Baltimore.
