The Miami Dolphins (5-6) are set to face off against the Green Bay Packers (8-3) at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. The Dolphins are looking to extend their three-game winning streak and stay in the playoff hunt in the AFC. Despite being underdogs in this matchup, Miami is aiming to prove they can win against contending teams and perform well in cold weather conditions.
The Dolphins lead the all-time series against the Packers with a record of 10-6, with their last win over Green Bay coming in 2010. Head coaches Mike McDaniel and Matt LaFleur, both from the Shanahan coaching tree, will face off in a rematch from a previous meeting in 2022.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will go head-to-head against Jordan Love for the first time, as Love filled in for Aaron Rodgers in their last matchup. Miami fullback Alec Ingold will also make a homecoming as a Green Bay native.
In terms of injuries, both teams have key players listed on the injury report, including CB Jaire Alexander for the Packers and CB Kendall Fuller for the Dolphins. With a game-time temperature of 27 degrees, both teams will have to battle the cold weather conditions in this primetime matchup.
This Thanksgiving game marks a special occasion for the Dolphins, who are looking to add to their 5-2 all-time record on Thanksgiving. Fans can catch the action on NBC or various radio stations, and both teams are gearing up for a competitive showdown under the Thursday night lights at Lambeau Field.
