The season is just about half over and the excitement for every Sunday Night Football game grows bigger every week. This weekend, the Baltimore Ravens are facing off against the New England Patriots. To heat up game day, pitmaster Rodney Scott is cooking up some football-friendly recipes for TODAY Food Loves Football. He shows us how to make crispy smoked chicken wings and saucy pit beef sliders.
