Hello from M&T Bank Stadium!

BALTIMORE, MD -- It took three weeks, but it finally feels like football.

New England's opener in Tennessee was played in gorgeous conditions, and its Week 2 matchup in Foxboro was nearly as nice. But in Baltimore, where the Patriots will play their first night game, there's no mistaking we've moved over into fall.

The sun isn't enough to make the 70 degree temperature feel any warmer. Game time weather is expected around 66 degrees, with 39 percent humidity rising and a 6 mile-per-hour northwest wind holding steady.

Kyle Love was the first player on M&T Bank Stadium's turf. He sauntered out of the tunnel some three hours before kickoff, in a hooded sweatshirt and shorts, and walked through the flat for the length of the field.

Unsurprisingly, the turf is in good shape.

Jake Bequette was next out for New England, spending several minutes running from sideline to sideline. The rookie hasn't been active for the team's first two contests.

The Patriots will look to improve to 2-1 on the season. For reference, the underside of .500 is a place they haven't been since 2003.
