Dolphins vs. Packers Score, Live Updates: Green Bay Hosts Miami at ‘Frozen Tundra’ in Thanksgiving Drink Drink

On By Littum

It’s time for dessert (and not just the pumpkin pie and cheesecake) as the Miami Dolphins are in Green Bay to take on the Packers in this year’s NFL Thanksgiving Night game. For as cold as it will feel in Green Bay on Thursday, the 8-3 Packers enter Thanksgiving night as one of the league’s hottest teams, having won six of their last seven games. The only loss in that span was to the Lions, who have staked their claim as the league’s best team. Not bad for the Packers, who have dealt with injuries to starting quarterback Jordan Love in his second year at the helm after the Aaron Rodgers show moved to New York.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, have also been on a run — one that coincided with the return of QB Tua Tagovailoa. Miami is 4-3 in games he’s started this season and has won three in a row, with the offense looking like it did last season once he’s settled back in. Tagovailoa has thrown for 605 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions over the Dolphins’ last. two games and he’ll need to be sharp again if the 5-6 Dolphins want to stay connected in the AFC wild-card picture.

As for the weather, temperatures will be in the upper 20s at kickoff and throughout the night. With winds around 15 miles per hour and gusts approaching 25 miles per hour, the feel-like temperatures will be in the mid-teens. The last time this Dolphins group played in freezing weather, they had a dud in a 26-7 playoff loss at Kansas City last January in freezing temperatures.
