FOXBORO, Mass. — Mother Nature made her presence known and then some during Sunday night’s New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons game at Gillette Stadium.
Both fans in attendance and those watching at home had their view of the Super Bowl LI rematch deterred by an incredibly thick layer of fog.
And as with any abnormality during the course of a major sporting event, the Twitter world came together as one to react to the frustrating weather conditions.

We’re not sure fog has ever dominated social media before. But hey, there’s a first time for everything.
