The Denver Broncos will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday as Peyton Manning and his Broncos look to get their new season off to the perfect start and send a message to the rest of the NFL that this will finally be their season. However, the Ravens will have other ideas and will be hoping that can cause a big upset today. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link provided below.
These teams started their seasons off in exactly the same way two years ago, when the Ravens also came to Mile High in the season opener.
Today's game has an added interest in the fact that Broncos' new head coach, Gary Kubiak, is in his first game, and it comes against the team he was with last season as offensive coordinator.
For some that would mean the Broncos have an advantage as Kubiak can give Denver some inside knowledge of the Ravens, but regardless the Broncos will have been confident to win this season opener in front of their home fans.
Earlier this week the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers faced off in the NFL season opener, and Tom Brady and co. were too much for the Steelers, winning the game 28-21.
Brady, who was set to miss the first four games of the season until a late appeal saw his suspension for "Deflategate" overturned, threw for four touchdowns in the victory. All four touchdowns were thrown to Brady's tight ends, and three went to Rob Gronkowski.
Overall Brady went 25 of 32 for 288 yards in a magnificent performance that ultimately proved the difference between the teams. The quarterback even set a franchise record for an amazing 19 consecutive pass completions.
Brady said after the game: "It was a pretty special night. I was excited, our whole team was excited. We haven't had one of these nights in a long time."
Towards the end of the game, the Patriots' fans mocked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the "Deflategate" scandal. The fans chanted, "Where is Roger?" after Goodell did not attend the season opener against tradition.
However, controversy continues to follow the New England Patriots around, and after the game it emerged that a new scandal was being reported; that the Steelers' coaches couldn't communicate as they kept getting interference with their headsets, hearing Patriots' radio broadcasts. Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin was angry about the issue after the game, however, the headsets are controlled by the league and not the Patriots. The league has has said that the headset issue was simply a temporary problem and the weather had played a major part in the problems.
