-------------WELCOME to the Live Blog of Broncos vs. Ravens!----------------
The Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos start off this weekend's NFL Playoffs as the ball gets rolling on the AFC Divisional games from Mile High.
Can't watch the game and want to know the score? That's why we're here providing a live blog with play-by-play with scoring updates and color commentary.
When you win 11 in a row to close out the season, good things will come and for the Broncos it took them all the way to the No. 1 seed topping the New England Patriots and Houston Texans.
Peyton Manning proved beyond healthy taking the Broncos already as far as they made it last season. They were 13-3 and tied for the best record in the NFL.
As for the Ravens, despite stumbling their way to the playoffs and barely surviving the Cincinnati Bengals' late surge, they destroyed Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts 31-9 in last week's Wild Card matchup.
Ray Lewis could be playing in his last game, which makes the outcome of this game even more important. The Ravens will highlight this matchup regardless of the outcome because of this. Win and they steal the tabloids, lose and Lewis' name will be all over the papers.
Awaiting the Ravens or Broncos are the New England Patriots and Texans. That matchup takes place tomorrow.
