The Panthers are coming! The Panthers are coming! Wait, that's not really all that intimidating, is it?

Weather forecast for the game-

Temperatures expected to be in the mid-40's at kickoff, and not warming up much beyond that, thanks to mostly cloudy skies. The rain is expected to hold off, however, so the field should be reasonably dry. Also, it's the Windy City, so it will be windy.
