Thanksgiving dinner will conclude with a battle between the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers. This will mark Green Bay’s second consecutive Thanksgiving game, after defeating the Detroit Lions 29-22 in last year’s matchup headlined by quarterback Jordan Love’s 269 passing yards and three touchdowns. Looking to build on last season’s Turkey Day, Green Bay probably will rely on running back Josh Jacobs who is third in the NFL in rushing yards with 944. Safety Xavier McKinney will play a significant role in coverage on the defensive end, leading the NFL in interceptions (seven).
