While the Dolphins looked to shatter some narratives by playing well in a cold-weather game, it was the Packers who escaped with a 30-17 win to cap the NFL’s 2024 Thanksgiving slate.

Quarterback Jordan Love passed for 274 yards with two touchdowns, helping Green Bay control the game for much of the evening.

The Packers built a 24-3 halftime lead with Love throwing two touchdown passes to Jayden Reed – a 3-yard catch in the first quarter and a 12-yard catch in the second quarter. Running back Josh Jacobs also had a 1-yard score late in the first quarter and Brandon McManus sent a 46-yard field goal through the uprights as time expired in the second quarter.

McManus added field goals of 24 and 33 yards in the second half to round out Green Bay’s score.

Trailing 27-3, the Dolphins broke through in the third quarter with De’Von Achane’s 14-yard touchdown catch. Tua Tagovailoa connected with Jaylen Waddle on the two-pointer to make it 27-11.

But the Dolphins couldn’t get it any closer in the fourth quarter despite three plays from Green Bay’s 1-yard line. Raheem Mostert was stuffed for no gain on second down, Tagovailoa was nearly intercepted on a pass to Jonnu Smith on third down, and Tagovailoa was then sacked for a turnover on downs.

The Packers hit a 33-yard field goal on their ensuing drive, making it a three-possession game and effectively sealing their victory.

Although Tyreek Hill caught a 12-yard touchdown from Tagovialoa with 3:04 left in the fourth quarter – only his fourth touchdown of the year – the Dolphins failed to convert on their two-point conversion, leaving the club trailing by 13 points.

Tagovailoa finished the contest 37 of 46 for 364 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Smith led the way with 10 balls for 113 yards. Hill had six catches for 83 yards with a score.

The Dolphins had a lot of trouble running, managing only 39 yards on 14 carries.

Love finished the game 21 of 28 for 274 yards with two touchdowns and no picks – good for a passer rating of 129.2. Josh Jacobs rushed for just 43 yards with one touchdown on 19 carries, but also caught four passes for 74 yards – including a career-long 49-yard reception. Tucker Kraft led the way with six passes for 78 yards.

With the win, the Packers are now 9-3 and have a big matchup next Thursday night at 11-1 in Detroit.

The 5-7 Dolphins will host the Jets in Week 14.
