Below is a list of information for Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears, presented by CSX, at M&T Bank Stadium (1 p.m. kickoff). The day marks Baltimore's 2025 Salute to Service game, which supports the NFL initiative designed to honor service members in all branches of the military.
Fans are encouraged to be in their seats no later than 12:45 p.m. to experience the special pre-game festivities (detailed below).
FROG-X PARACHUTE TEAM
The Frog-X Parachute Team – a disabled veteran-owned, extreme aerial parachute demonstration unit that performs nationwide – will descend onto the field at 12:45 p.m.
PLAYER INTRODUCTIONS
Baltimore's starting defense will be introduced.
LEGEND OF THE GAME
Former cornerback Duane Starks is Sunday's Legend of the Game. Starks was Baltimore's top draft pick in 1998 and went on to start in 44 of 62 games as a Raven. In 2000, he posted a team-best nine total interceptions en route to the franchise's first World Championship, including a "pick-six" in Super Bowl XXXV.
Prior to the game, Starks will participate in a fan Q&A on the RavensWalk Bud Light Stage at 11:15 a.m.
HONORARY CAPTAIN
U.S. Paralympian and American hero Brad Snyder will serve as Sunday's Honorary Captain. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Snyder produced a decorated military career before losing his eyesight in an explosion while serving with the Navy overseas. Turning personal tragedy into triumph, he went on to become a three-time Paralympian and six-time gold medalist in both swimming and the paratriathlon.
NATIONAL ANTHEM
Caleb Green, a member of Voices of Service – the vocal group of four military veterans who carry a mission of hope, healing and unity – will perform the national anthem. Green has become a popular performer at Washington Capitals games. Turning music into a movement, his quartet group was highlighted on Season 14 of America's Got Talent in 2020, when it captivated millions and placed fifth on the show.
HALFTIME PERFORMANCE & CEREMONIES
Baltimore's Marching Ravens will perform tributes to the U.S. military branches as part of a special Salute to Service halftime show.
Additionally, 100 future service members from all military branches will participate in an on-field Oath of Enlistment ceremony. These outstanding young men and women will soon embark on careers in a wide range of specialties and programs. U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former Ravens linebacker Diego Fagot will administer the oath for the recruits, who face an intense series of specialized training programs that will prepare them to join their new shipmates, soldiers and Marines in the military.
Lastly, in partnership with Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light, halftime will feature a special check presentation for Folds of Honor – an organization that provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. The Ravens will welcome the Parrish family, represented by U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Antonio Maurice Parrish and his daughter, Madison, who is a senior at Stevenson University and Folds of Honor recipient.
IN-GAME SALUTE TO SERVICE RECOGNITIONS
Following the conclusion of the first quarter, the Ravens will hold an in-stadium moment to salute all fans in attendance who are active-duty or veteran service members. Additionally, the Ravens will recognize three heroes and their children who have received support from the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation: Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Scott Gervasi, Cpl. Michael Joyce and Lance Cpl. Michael Cunningham.
SEATS FOR SERVICE
Sunday's CSX Seats for Service recipients are members of Blue Star Families, a nonprofit organization that connects military families with their neighbors to create vibrant communities of mutual support.
