Thursday night's game was a microcosm of the Miami Dolphins' recent history in cold weather games. After a chilly start, the Dolphins tried to mount a second-half rally against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night.

The thing about narratives, sometimes they’re just true. Narratives, the word often used around the Dolphins, specifically about how they struggle against contending teams and in cold weather, were only solidified as valid with their Thanksgiving effort against the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers enjoyed a late-night Thanksgiving feast on Thursday, complete with cold weather, big reaches and some awkwardness in the later parts of the meal. By the end of the first half, the Packers had a 24-3 lead over the Miami Dolphins.
