Narrative:

ILS approach in heavy rain; acquired approach lights just prior to minimums. Runway came in sight and the first officer attempted to land. Initially jet was a little left of center but I told first officer to come right. He came right and touched down on right side of runway. Spoilers seemed to delay in deployment. Jet continued right and departed right side of runway then steered back onto runway and stopped in center of runway short of taxiway hotel. Both engines flamed out. [I] turned on emergency power to start APU. With APU running started the left engine and taxied clear of the runway and shut down the right engine. As a precaution we had jet towed to the gate. Landing in heavy rain on an ungrooved runway was possibly a contributing factor. Spoiler delayed deployment may be another factor. An autoland may have stopped this from occurring.
