It is this windy at Gillette Stadium today

Stephon Gilmore seen leaving Gillette Stadium a few minutes ago. Hearing he won't be playing today.

Stephon Gilmore still out. twitter.com/Patriots/statu…

Gilmore misses his third game with ankle/concussion. Amendola, Cannon are active twitter.com/Patriots/statu… twitter.com/Patriots/statu…

Chargers are in all white. Clean look https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNUOvJAW4AAcI65.jpg

Official Volin Prediction: Patriots 27, Chargers 17. Think the defense will step up today even without Hightower

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 3:58:10 PM
Raining hard during warmups at Gillette. Fans go scurrying

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 4:07:01 PM
Can’t tell, but it’s raining pretty good here at Gillette. #Patriots https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNUV3OHWkAE-Cbe.jpg

Every week I think the Browns are finally going to keep a game close and cover the spread. Every week I am let down :(

Heavens open up again right before kickoff. Currently pouring at Gillette

#Patriots win toss and defer to second half.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:01:06 PM
Patriots win the toss, defer. Chargers will receive the opening kickoff

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:01:08 PM
Chargers call tails. Coin comes up heads. Patriots elect to defer. Chargers will receive opening kickoff.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/29/2017 5:01:08 PM
David Harris, Jordan Richards, Johnson Bademosi starting for the Patriots D

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:03:29 PM
Alan Branch was shaken up on that play. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:06:39 PM
Alan Branch has returned for this fourth-and-1 play. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:10:21 PM
4th and 1, Chargers opt for the 51 yard FG over going for it. Watch for the fake

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:10:39 PM
Nick Novak's 51-yard FG is wide right. #Patriots take over.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:11:14 PM
Dion Lewis in the huddle to start the game for the Patriots offense. Continues to take the lead role

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:12:00 PM
Dion Lewis is the Patriots starting RB.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/29/2017 5:13:41 PM
Patriots waste the good field position. Didn't try to throw the ball down field once in that series

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:15:05 PM
Not great, Bob!

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/29/2017 5:19:13 PM
Wow, 87 yard touchdown for Melvin Gordon. Looked like a stuffed run but opened up quickly

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:19:25 PM
Gordon patiently slid his way down the line before finding his lane on that 87-yard TD run. Chargers lead, 7-0. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:20:07 PM
Chargers take a 7-0 lead with 6:15 left 1Q. Gordon a career long 87 yard TD run. Where was the deep safety help?

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:20:22 PM
It was a career-long run for Melvin Gordon. twitter.com/BGlobeSports/s…

That 27 yard catch by James White was the first time the Chargers have allowed a third and 11+ conversion all season

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:29:29 PM
The Gordon TD run was the Chargers first first-quarter offensive TD since Week 3 against Kansas City and just the second of the season

by Dan Woike via twitter retweeted by BenVolin 10/29/2017 5:33:34 PM
Brady to Gronkowski for the 2-yard TD and #Patriots have tied it at 7.

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/29/2017 5:35:03 PM
Patriots tie the score 7-7 with 14:56 left 2Q. Scoring drive: 14 plays, 77 yards in 6:19. Patriots convert 4 third downs on that drive

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:35:05 PM
Gronk's 5th TD of the season, tying Chris Hogan for the team lead

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:36:21 PM
Chargers go Wildcat on third and 2, Oliver tackled for 1 yard. Forced to punt. Just run your regular offense

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:41:50 PM
Rex Burkhead into the game for the third series. Dion Lewis and James White have gotten all of the work so far. Gillislee just 1 snap

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:42:53 PM
Patriots' offense once again revolving around the running backs. Lewis, White and Burkhead have 13 of 20 touches

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:47:23 PM
Patriots with the quick snap after that Cooks catch. Not sure Cooks caught it, but Chargers don't challenge it.

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:48:21 PM
Brady wanted it all, but if he had just dumped it off to Burkhead, he could've had the first down

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/29/2017 5:51:08 PM
Safety!

Talk about your all time boneheaded moves by Travis Benjamin. Minus-11 yard return for the safety
