In a Thanksgiving Day showdown, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Miami Dolphins with a final score of 30-17. Jordan Love led the Packers to victory by throwing two touchdown passes to Jayden Reed. Love’s performance earned him the traditional turkey leg celebration, a moment he missed out on in a previous Thanksgiving Day win.
Despite the chilly weather conditions at Lambeau Field, with a kickoff temperature of 27 degrees, the Dolphins struggled to keep up with the Packers. Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa put up a strong effort with 364 passing yards and two touchdowns but couldn’t secure the win.
The Packers, now 5-7, have won seven of their last eight games. The Dolphins, on the other hand, have a history of struggling in cold weather games and have lost their past 12 games in temperatures below 40 degrees.
Green Bay showcased a strong performance on a short week, playing their third game in a 12-day stretch. The victory sets them up for a crucial matchup against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions next Thursday night.
