18th US team football season
The2013 season was theBaltimore Ravens ' 18th in theNational Football League (NFL) and their sixth underhead coach John Harbaugh . The Ravens entered the season asthe defending Super Bowl champions from the previous year , but failed to improve on their 10–6 record from2012 , and missed the playoffs for the first time since2007 and for the first time in the Harbaugh/Flacco era. This marked the first time in 10 years, as well as the most recent time, that the defending Super Bowl champion missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
For the first time in franchise history,Ray Lewis was not on the roster, as he announced his retirement before the playoffs began the year prior. He retired as a champion of Super Bowl XLVII and was the last remaining player from the team'sinaugural season . Lewis also helped the Ravens winSuper Bowl XXXV over theNew York Giants and is believed by many as the greatest Baltimore Raven of all time. Including Lewis, the team parted ways with a record eight starters from the Super Bowl-winning squad; no other defending Super Bowl champion had lost more than five.[ 1] 2025 . They were originally scheduled to play on Thanksgiving in2020 , but the game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

Due to a conflict involving the Orioles' schedule, the Ravens opened the regular season on the road against the Broncos, the first time a defending Super Bowl champion team had done so since the Buccaneers in 2003 when they opened their regular season against the Eagles. This was a rematch of the previous year's AFC Divisional game also known as theMile High Miracle .
The Ravens drew first blood when Joe Flacco found Vonta Leach on a 2-yard touchdown pass to take the lead 7–0 in the first quarter for the only score of the period.

Later on in the quarter, Peyton found Demaryius Thomas on a 26-yard pass to increase the lead to 42–17. The Ravens tried to rally a comeback in the last quarter, with Flacco finding Marlon Brown on a 13-yard pass to shorten the Broncos' lead 42–24 followed up by Tucker's 30-yard field goal to make the score 42–27. However, the Broncos wrapped things up in the game when Peyton found D. Thomas again on a 78-yard pass to make the final score 49–27. The Ravens began their season 0–1 for the first time under John Harbaugh as head coach and Joe Flacco as their starter. They also lost their first regular season opening game since 2007 as well as becoming the 2nd straight defending Super Bowl champion team to lose their season opener.
