Dolphins vs. Packers Score, Live Updates: Green Bay Welcomes Miami to the 'Frozen Tundra' for Thanksgiving Night Game.
It’s dessert time (and not just the pumpkin pie and cheesecake) as the Miami Dolphins face the Green Bay Packers in this year’s NFL Thanksgiving Night game. Despite the frigid temperatures in Green Bay, the 8-3 Packers come into this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the league, having won six of their last seven games. Their only loss during that stretch was to the Lions, who at 11-1 have solidified their spot as the NFL’s top team. This strong performance is especially impressive considering the Packers have had to contend with injuries to quarterback Jordan Love in his second season after Aaron Rodgers’ departure to New York. Highlight
The Dolphins, on the other hand, have been on a roll themselves, largely thanks to the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Miami is 4-3 in games he's started this season and has won three straight, with the offense beginning to resemble last year’s explosive unit as Tagovailoa finds his rhythm. Over the past two games, he’s thrown for 605 yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions. The 5-6 Dolphins will need his sharpest performance if they hope to stay in the AFC wild-card race.
As for the weather, it’s going to be a chilly one. Temperatures will hover around the upper 20s at kickoff and remain low throughout the night. With winds at 15 mph and gusts reaching up to 25 mph, the wind chill will make it feel like the mid-teens. The last time the Dolphins played in such cold conditions was in a 26-7 playoff loss to the Chiefs in sub-zero temperatures last January.
