The Packers take advantage of the freezing home elements to win against the Dolphins

The Green Bay Packers used the elements to their advantage Thursday against a team not as familiar with playing in bitter cold.

The home team capped off the Thanksgiving tripleheader with a 30-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

Simply put, the Packers weren’t bothered by the frozen tundra right from the jump. They made a three-pointer on their first possession, but the punt was blocked and recovered by Green Bay inside the 10-yard line.

Three plays later, Jordan Love hit Jayden Reed for a touchdown. After a Miami punt, the Packers went back 12 plays and Josh Jacobs got the job done.

The Dolphins scored a field goal on their next drive, then both teams exchanged punts before Love and Reed scored their second touchdown. Miami continued to turn the ball over on downs and the Packers added a field goal to end the first half 24-3.

Miami hit a punt early in the second half and Green Bay responded with a field goal. De’Von Achane scored on the Dolphins’ next drive, and a successful two-point conversion suddenly made it a two-possession game.

After forcing a Green Bay punt, the Dolphins advanced to the opponent’s punt but were unable to score. The Packers then made it a three-possession game after kicking another field goal, effectively putting the ball game on the ice – although Tyreek Hill didn’t reach the end zone until late.

Love went 21 of 28 for 274 yards, scoring both of Reed’s touchdowns.

Tua Tagovailoa was 36 of 45 for 357 yards, at least doing his part to cover up the narrative that he can’t play in the cold. Jonnu Smith led all receivers with 10 catches for 113 yards.
