Saints-Ravens Weather, Meme, Officials, and More

Look for our Halftime Studs & Duds shortly after the first half comes to an end at Saints On SI.

There have been thunderstorms rumbling through Baltimore this morning. Accuweather.com is saying the rain should be moving out as the day wears on, but a 50-50 shot at rain is expected at kickoff time, then most of the showers should move out as the game progresses. Heavy cloud coverage is forecast for M&T Stadium throughout the contest.

Pregame Meme

Both Alvin Kamara and Cam Jordan are expected to make their season debut today against the Ravens. To commemorate his 16th season in the NFL and with the Saints, we thought it only appropriate we create this one.
