vs At 7:30 PM CST The Denver Broncos have waited almost eight months for their chance to avenge last season's dramatic divisional playoff loss to a Baltimore Ravens team that appears ready for the challenge. Minus some familiar faces, the Super Bowl champion Ravens kick off the 2013 season Thursday night against the host Broncos, who hope to achieve the goal they fell short of a year ago. Riding an 11-game winning streak and ahead by seven late in the fourth quarter, Denver appeared headed to the AFC championship game until safety Rahim Moore blew coverage and Baltimore's Joe Flacco connected with Jacoby Jones for a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds left, forcing overtime and stunning the Broncos. The Ravens went on to a 38-35 double-OT victory that propelled them to a 28-13 win at New England the next week, and they went on to beat San Francisco 34-31 to claim their first Super Bowl title since 2000. "I've got a pretty good feeling that the Broncos fans are going to make us remember (and) think about everything that they want to," coach John Harbaugh told the Ravens' official website. "We know the environment we're going into. It will be the same environment, or even tougher, than the one that we faced in January. And we're excited about that." For the Broncos, it's a chance to resolve the past while providing a potential springboard for a promising season. "It's not about me. It's about the team," Moore said. "We all suffered. But the good thing about it is it's a whole new year. Nobody remembers what you did last year." Read more http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=330905007
