Dolphins vs. Packers: Green Bay finishes off Thanksgiving with carving of Miami

The Packers have a third straight win, while the Dolphins have another cold-weather loss. This game felt over by halftime, got a little interesting in the third quarter, then turned into a runaway win.

The Packers went for the home run on a deep pass to Christian Watson on 3rd-and-11. It was a perfect ball, but some heavy contact from the Miami secondary causes an incompletion. The Packers aren't happy, but this really shouldn't matter.

It's the Dolphins' ball with 1:56 left, down by 13. One timeout left.

Packers recover the onside kick. They can end it here with a few first downs.

Tagovailoa finds Tyreek Hill, by accident, for his second touchdown pass of the game (good). The two-point conversion fails (bad). The Dolphins are down 30-17 with 3:04 left and need multiple onside kicks to go right to avoid being 507 (ugly).

The Dolphins are down three scores with five minutes left and are keeping Tua Tagovailoa — whose career was in doubt earlier this season due to concussions — in to finish out this game. Sure.

There are five minutes left, and zero drama. The Packers are up 19 and just have to worry about keeping warm for the rest of the game.

Big swing there. Jayden Reed drops a screen pass and the ball is returned all the way to the end zone... but replay confirms it's an incomplete pass. That was a tense few seconds for the Packers.

Josh Jacobs shakes a tackle, jukes a defender than runs it 49 yards to put the Packers in the red zone. It's the longest reception of his career.

That was painful from the Dolphins. They got the ball to the Green Bay 1-yard line, then got stopped on three straight plays.

Down 27-11 with 9:39 left, the Dolphins go for it and take a Tua Tagovailoa sack by Quay Walker. A flag for offensive holding is declined, and that could be the game.

Tua Tagovailoa gets the Dolphins on the edge of the red zone with pass to Odell Beckham Jr., but gets hammered by an unblocked Rashan Gary. There was some debate over a roughing the passer penalty, but the lack of contact to the helmet saves the Packers.

The Dolphins get a much-needed stop and take over their own 18. With them currently down 16 and a whole quarter to play, this thing isn't quite over.

The Dolphins score their first touchdown on a De'Von Achane catch-and-run, then convert the two-point conversion on a great catch by Jaylen Waddle.

The lead is down to 16.

Raheem Mostert runs for 26 yards, which WOULD have more than doubled the Dolphins' output on the ground tonight, but Tyreek Hill gets called for holding and wipes out the gain.

That kind of game for the Dolphins.

Before the field goal.:

The Dolphins officially need three touchdowns and three two-point conversions to tie this. The Packers settle for a field goal after reaching the Miami 6, with a pair of big throws from Jordan Love. He's up to 177 passing yards.

The Dolphins' first drive of the second half goes nowhere and now the Packers already in Miami territory after a 46-yard pass to Christian Watson. It might be time to let the post-Thanksgiving sleepiness to take over.

Malik Washington returns it to the 25 for the Dolphins and the second half has begun.

It's been all Packers so far, outgaining the Dolphins 213-121 while winning the turnover game.

Jordan Love: 11-for-15 with 111 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Tua Tagovailoa: 14-for-19 with 118 yards.

The more telling stat: Tagovailoa leads the Dolphins in rushing with six yards.

The Packers stop the Dolphins on 4th-and-5 at midfield and add to their lead with a 46-yard field goal. The Dolphins will have to erase a three-touchdown lead in freezing weather in the second half.

Another touchdown for Jayden Reed and the Packers stand to enter the first half with a 21-3 lead. Jordan Love is 9-for-13 with 85 yards and two touchdowns, while the running game has 95 yards on 15 carries.

A sack on 3rd-and-8 ends the Dolphins drive and the Packers take over at their own 38 after a fair catch. 3:03 left in the first half.

The Dolphins get a stop and hold onto the ball this timeut a holding penalty pushes them back to their own 6-yard line.

The Dolphins' red zone appearance goes nowhere (six yards back, actually) and they settle for the field goal. It's a start.

The Dolphins make a 48-yard field goal to get on the board, but the Packers get called for a neutral-zone violation. Mike McDaniel opts to go for it on 4th-and-4 and the gamble pays off with a 16-yard pass to Jaylen Waddle.

Miami is now in the red zone.

First quarter ends with the Dolphins at their own 43 and trying to dig their way out of a 14-0 hole. Tua Tagovailoa is 4-for-4 for 31 passing yards in the cold, but the run game has combined for negative-1 yards.

The Packers get into the red zone then finish a 12-play drive with Josh Jacobs pounding it up the middle. It is all Green Bay in the cold so far.

Dolphins' response drive ends after an unnecessary roughness penalty creates a 3rd-and-29. The Packers take over at their own 24.

After a couple Josh Jacobs runs up the middle, Jordan Love hits Jayden Reed in the flat on play action to open the scoring. The Dolphins officially pay for their mistake.

It's a cold night, judging from Malik Washington's hands. The Dolphins returner bobbles the punt and the Packers take over in the re

Dolphins get to Jordan Love on 3rd-and-14, and the ball squirts out to the side. It was initially called a fumble, then turned into an incomplete pass when replay showed Love was hit just as he started his throwing motion. The result is a Packers punt.

Packers returner Keisean Nixon returns the ball all the way to the 46-yard line and we're off at Lambeau Field.
