In a challenging game marked by frigid conditions, the Miami Dolphins faced a disappointing 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. A Dolphins player noted after the game that the cold temperatures may have influenced the team's performance, which ultimately resulted in their defeat.

According to NextGen Stats, Miami struggled defensively, missing a total of 20 tackles that contributed to 132 extra yards gained by the Packers. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks openly stated his belief that the team's performance was insufficient, claiming, 'I thought we were soft.' He emphasized that the cold weather likely played a significant role in the lackluster effort displayed by the Dolphins.

The Dolphins' defense had previously not permitted an opponent to rush for 100 yards in five consecutive games but allowed 108 rushing yards in the first half of this contest. Green Bay averaged more than 7 yards per play and the Dolphins failed to force any turnovers for the first time since Week 8. Even though Miami managed to outscore the Packers 14-6 in the second half, a poor defensive showing combined with a 24-3 first-half deficit proved insurmountable.
