The regular season begins this Sunday with the Ravens traveling to Denver to take on Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
WBAL meteorologist Lowell Melser says the weather will be sunny in Denver with temperatures in the 90's at kickoff.
Gary Kubiak's imprint is all over the teams that will take the field Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Denver Broncos in one of the best matchups of opening weekend.
With Kubiak calling the shots as their offensive coordinator last season, the Ravens set franchise records in points (409) and yardage (5,838).
He emphatically insisted he would stay in Baltimore. Then, his dream job opened. And back to Denver he flew to reunite with John Elway, whom he backed up during his playing career.
Marc Trestman has taken over as Baltimore's offensive coordinator, but the unit's identity remains the same, built around the zone-blocking scheme that helped quarterback Joe Flacco to the best season of his seven-year career and turned journeyman running back Justin Forsett into a Pro Bowler.
"He definitely is the author of the way that the scheme is run nowadays and the way we're doing it," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
Nobody knows better what to expect out of the Ravens than Kubiak, who has reintroduced zone-blocking in Denver.
"Everyone knows what kind of team we are," Forsett said. "We have an identity of being a run-first team, a team that's physical - smash-mouth football."
