Although the Miami Dolphins put together two TD drives in the second half to keep the game somewhat respectable, their cold-weather woes continued with a 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
A muffed catch on a punt return early in the game was a sign of things to come for Miami.
The punt is muffed! @Packers recover!

The Dolphins struggled on third down, going 4-for-14. The run game (39 yards) was non-existent, while penalties (10 for 75 yards) were costly.
QB Tua Tagovailoa was 37-of-46 with 365 yards and two TDs. Most of his production came with the Dolphins trailing by multiple scores.
According to Jacob Camenker of USA Today, Tagovailoa was 0-7 in sub-45 degree temperature games coming into Thursday night. The loss drops him to 0-8.
For Green Bay, a balanced attack on offense carried it throughout the night. For the second consecutive game, QB Jordan Love did not throw an interception, while RB Josh Jacobs added another TD to his impressive 2024 campaign.
Jacobs had 19 carries for 43 yards and a TD and four catches for 74 yards.
WR Jayden Reed led the way in the first half with a pair of TD catches.
The Packers improved to 9-3 on the heels of three straight wins, while the Dolphins' (5-7) three-game winning streak came to an end.
A remaining schedule that features only one team above .500 (Houston Texans) may be just what the Dolphins need after another cold weather loss.
