Dolphins vs. Packers score, live updates: Green Bay hosts Miami in the Frozen Tundra for Thanksgiving nightcap

It’s time for dessert (and not just pumpkin pie and cheesecake) because the Miami Dolphins are in Green Bay to take on the Packers in this year’s NFL Thanksgiving Night game. 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 defeat during this period came against the Lions, who staked their claim as the best team in the league. Not bad for the Packers, who struggled with injuries to starting quarterback Jordan Love in his second year at the helm after the Aaron Rodgers show moved to New York.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins were also on the rise – one that coincided with the return of QB Tua Tagovailoa. Miami is 4-3 in games started this season and has won three straight. The offense looks like it did last season as he has settled back in. Tagovailoa threw for 605 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions in the Dolphins’ last two games, and he will need to be sharp again if the 5-6 Dolphins want to compete in the AFC wild card.

As for the weather, temperatures will be above 20°C at kick-off and overnight. With winds around 15 mph and gusts near 15 mph, temperatures will feel like they will be in the mid-teens. The last time this Dolphins group played in frigid conditions, they posted a 26-7 playoff loss in subzero temperatures in Kansas City last January.
