The Ravens are paying tribute to them with helmet decals featuring their names and numbers. The team will wear the decals all season. M&T Bank Stadium will have a wall wrap honoring them as well.

About 15 minutes before kickoff, Siragusa's family will be on the field for a special tribute and moment of silence. Ravens Executive Vice President Ozzie Newsome will present Kelly Siragusa, Goose's wife, with flowers.
