ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-Football is back. Regular season football that is. The St. Louis Rams will kick off the 2013 season at home Sunday versus the division rival Arizona Cardinals at 3:25pm. Even with the later game, tailgaters were out early Sunday morning, braving the rain showers to find the best spot for their pre-game party.


Fans at Sunday’s game will receive a blue Rams rally towel, presented by Edward Jones, Famous Footwear/Brown Shoe Company and Centene Corporation, to celebrate the start of the 2013 season as well as the kickoff of the United Way of Greater St. Louis campaign. Fans can also join the Rams in their support of United Way by adding a dollar to any concession stand transaction at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday.

Also Sunday, the Rams will welcome the family of Hall of Famer Deacon Jones during the first quarter as the team celebrates the life of the star player.  Jones passed away earlier this summer.  The Rams will wear a number 75 decal on their helmets for the 2013 season in his honor.   Additionally, the NFL has announced that they will present the Deacon Jones Award to the league leader in sacks at the conclusion of each season.

Jones was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. The Rams retired his number 75 in 2009.

About FOX 2 News

FOX 2 and KPLR 11 in St. Louis cover the news in Missouri and Illinois. There are over 68 hours of live news and local programming on-air each week. Our website and live video streams operate 24/7. Download our apps for alerts and follow us on social media for updates in your feed.

President Harry Truman said: “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” That spirit is alive and well at Fox 2. Our teamwork is on display each and every day.

Our news slogan is: “Coverage You Can Count On.” We quite frankly are too busy to worry about who gets the credit. Our main concern is serving the viewer.

We go where the stories take us. Whether it be Washington, D.C when a Belleville man opened fire during a congressional baseball game practice or to Puerto Rico where local Ameren crews restored power after more than 5 months in the dark.

Coverage You Can Count On means “Waking up your Day” with our top-rated morning show. From 4:00 am-10:00 am we are leading the way with breaking news. But our early morning crew also knows how to have some fun! Our strong commitment to the communities we serve is highlighted with our Friday neighborhood shows.

Our investigative unit consists of three reporters. Elliott Davis focuses on government waste, Chris Hayes is our investigative reporter, and Mike Colombo is our consumer reporter. They work in unison with the news department by sharing resources and ideas.

We continue to cover breaking news aggressively and relied on our seasoned journalists to make a difference with the stories we covered. The shooting of Arnold Police Officer Ryan O’Connor is just one example of that. Jasmine Huda was the only reporter who had exclusive access to the O’Connor family during his amazing rehabilitation in Colorado.

Last, but certainly not least, FOX 2 and KPLR 11 are committed to covering local politics. We host debates among candidates and have the most extensive presidential election coverage. Our commitment to politics isn’t just during an election year. We produce two political shows that air every weekend.
