The Denver Broncos do not have an especially long history with the Baltimore Ravens, having compiled a 6-5 regular season record, along with two conspicuous and disappointing playoff losses since the old Cleveland Browns relocated to Baltimore.

But the most remarkable game stands out as one for the ages, coming in Denver on opening day of the 2013 season, Peyton Manning's second with the Broncos.

The Broncos won 49-27, and the most historically significant aspect of that score was that all 49 of the Broncos' points came via touchdown passes by Manning, with the result being a Denver win over the defending Super Bowl champions in the 2013 NFL Kickoff Game.

Manning always had a great sense of both history and the dramatic, and both were center stage that day.

He matched the NFL record for passing touchdowns in a single game with seven and had 462 passing yards, third best in team history, and just for good measure, it all happened against the team that had eliminated Denver from the playoffs the previous year.

The game actually was delayed by a 33-minute weather delay, but once it began it was all Manning.

Denver was scoreless in the first quarter, which ended with Baltimore holding a 7-0 lead. But in the second period, Manning threw two touchdown passes to tight end Julius Thomas, for 24 and 23 yards. Still, Baltimore scored another 10 points to secure a 17-14 halftime lead.

The 76,977 fans in attendance had no idea what was coming in the second half.

The Broncos put up 28 unanswered points on four Manning touchdowns in one of the greatest passing outbursts in NFL history.

His third TD came on a 28-yard pass to wide receiver Andre Caldwell, and then newly acquired wideout Wes Welker found himself on the receiving end of touchdown passes four and five, both short tosses of 5 and 2 yards, respectively.

Denver was up by a 35-17 margin entering the fourth quarter, and the Broncos not only did not look back but were also able to add another TD pass, this time on a 26-yard toss to Demaryius Thomas, before the Ravens finally scored again.
