Flacco, being interviewed on the sideline, told ESPN he can't wait to play for Broncos Country in the regular season.

Flacco led a field goal drive, and the two other drives resulted in punts.

He had a long completion to Emmanuel Sanders which was negated due to a holding penalty on Garett Bolles.
