Video of bundled-up Dolphins players warming up at Lambeau Field goes viral after Thanksgiving Day loss
LeSean McCoy and James Jones debate whether the NFL should watch out for the Green Bay Packers after a 30-17 Thanksgiving win over the Miami Dolphins. Jordan Love finished 21-of-28 for 274 yards and two touchdowns.
The Miami Dolphins wanted to put to bed the narrative that cold weather games were their weakness.
Unfortunately, they were not able to do that after losing to the Green Bay Packers in frigid temps on Thanksgiving Day. In the lead up to Thursday night’s game, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said he believed it all came down to "mindset."

"We’re obviously nowhere near the temperatures where all these other cold teams play at being in Miami, where it’s 80," he said this week. "Sometimes it gets down to 50, but it just gets nowhere near the teams that make it in long stretches. To me it’s just a mindset, that’s really all it is."

However, there appeared to be at least one stark difference in the way each team approached their pre-game warmups.
In a video shared on social media, several Packers players were seen warming up in T-shirts and shorts before the game. Meanwhile, that same video captured several Miami players bundled up in sweats and hats warming up on the field.
The Dolphins have now lost their last 12 regular season or postseason games in which the temperature at kickoff was 40 degrees or lower. Thursday was no different, with a temperature of 27 degrees, with 10 mph winds and a wind chill of 18 degrees.
