Mercedes-Benz Superdome is rocking for the 2019 NFC Championship.

The New Orleans Saints lead the Los Angeles Rams 13-10 at halftime, perhaps partially due to its passionate fan base.

The Rams were having difficulty dealing with the crowd noise early on, totaling just 15 yards in the opening frame.

Head coach Sean McVay and Jared Goff could not communicate effectively when the quarterback was in the huddle.

Saints fans were so loud after a DeMario Davis interception that it appears to have affected the Superdome's structure.

And for those hearing a piercing whistle noise on the broadcast, you have this man to blame.
