  1. The game could have been postponed or something. Under this kinda weather, allergies and illnesses are imminent.

    1. It’s football, so they will play in all kinds of weather sunny, rainy, windy, snow. Only Lightning will delay the game until it stops.

      I remembered the Bears played the Colts in rainy conditions before in the Super Bowl in Miami.

    2. Postponed because of rain?! Why not just cancel the whole season? What’s the point of playing if they can’t play in heavy rain or white out conditions from time to time. That’s just part of the sport. Playing in whatever weather Mother Nature throws at you short of any natural disasters. These guys just had a little rain.
