That was until Rahim Moore blew coverage and let Joe Flacco throw a long touchdown pass to tie the game late.
What followed was a fun overtime match up that saw the Ravens gut it out and finish out the game as the winner, then move on to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, ultimately winning it.
The Ravens look a little different this year, but there will be familiar Jacksonville Jaguars faces on both sides of the ball. The Ravens start linebacker Daryl Smith and the Broncos start defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, as well as have Jack Del Rio as the defensive coordinator.
