The Green Bay Packers won their third straight game on Thanksgiving night following a 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins. The game was really never close as Jordan Love and the Pack were in complete control from start to finish.
The Dolphins entered Week 13 on a three game winning streak of their own, but they were out-classed by the Packers. All week last week the Dolphins talked about proving the doubters wrong about their lack of success in cold-weather games but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
The concerns about how Miami would care in cold weather were fair, and Green Bay noticed it too.
“Them boys looked cold out there,” Packers running back Josh Jacobs said after the game, per NFL Media.
Packers safety Xavier McKinney also believes the elements played a role in Green Bay’s victory.
“Obviously, they’re coming from Miami, it’s hot there, and then when you come here and play in that cold weather, you get affected by it,” McKinney said. “So I think it affected everybody on that team.”
Tua Tagovailoa has lost the six coldest starts of his NFL career, and Thursday night was the second-coldest game he’s ever started. The Dolphins own the longest active losing streak in games where the kickoff temperature was below 40 degrees with 12 straight losses.
The loss was a huge blow to the Dolphins playoff chances.
