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

It’s time for dessert (and not just the 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 may feel in Green Bay on Thursday, the 8-3 Packers enter Thanksgiving night as one of the league’s hottest teams after winning six of their last seven games. The only defeat in that period came to the Lions, who have staked their claim as the league’s best team. Not bad for the Packers, who dealt with injuries to starting quarterback Jordan Love in his second year at the helm after Aaron Rodgers’ show moved to New York.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, have also been on a run — one that coincided with the return of QB Tua Tagovailoa. Miami is 4-3 in the games he has started this season and has won three in a row, with the offense looking like it did last season when he was back in place. Tagovailoa has thrown for 605 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions in the Dolphins’ last game. two games, and he’ll need to be sharp again if the 5-6 Dolphins want to stay connected in the AFC wild-card picture.

Weather-wise, temperatures will be in the low 20s at kick-off and throughout the night. With winds near 15 miles per hour and gusts near 25 miles per hour, wind chill temperatures will be in the mid-teens. The last time this Dolphins group played in icy conditions, they scored a 26-7 playoff loss in Kansas City in subzero temperatures last January.
