The skies have opened -- and we mean it's absolutely pouring -- here at Gillette. The rain came quite quickly, and doesn't look like it will be going anywhere anytime soon.

UPDATE: Now there's lightning in the sky, which could put tonight's start time in jeopardy. Football can be played in most anything, but we're guessing lightning is on the very short list of what it can't be played in.

The fans have gone running for cover, while the Pats and Titans are continuing their warm-ups -- it takes quite a bit for FieldTurf to accumulate water.

But hey, at least this means a lot of plastic-bag rain ponchos will be sold tonight. Ching-ching....
