OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco plays in his first regular-season game since a season-ending knee injury last November. But this isn't the only return in the Sept. 11 season opener against the Buffalo Bills at M&T Bank Stadium.
Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor plays in Baltimore for the first time since leaving the Ravens in free agency a year ago. Taylor, a sixth-round pick by Baltimore in 2011, was a little-used backup to Flacco for four seasons.
In his first season as a starter, Taylor responded by throwing 20 touchdowns and six interceptions for a 99.
