About two and a half hours before kickoff, Patriots and Dolphins players began to trickle on to the field for warm-ups. Among the first Patriots out there are Brian Hoyer, Stephen Gostowski, Chris Hanson, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Eric Alexander, and Bret Lockett.

The great weather today may be an advantage for the Dolphins, who have historically struggled here in inclement weather. That's a good break for them, but it will also Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker take aim at the Dolphins' rookie corners, Sean Smith and Vontae Davis, without obstruction.
