The Green Bay Packers matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16 on Christmas will mark the first time in franchise history that the team has played on the road for the holiday game. The team has won four of their last five tilts against Miami and will be in search of their seventh win of the year on December 25th.
As a nationally televised game, this matchup will be seen by millions on Christmas day and should provide plenty of excitement for fans who hope to get their football fix over the holiday weekend. Tickets at Hard Rock Stadium have become astronomically expensive in the lead-up to the game, and with two of the league’s top quarterbacks squaring off in primetime, this highly anticipated matchup will not disappoint.
Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers will need to bring his A-game against the Dolphins to ensure Packers fans a merry Christmas, and Green Bay’s defense on the other side of the ball should look to channel their inner grinch to spoil Miami’s holiday spirit. The Dolphins boast one of the league’s best offenses, spearheaded by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his crew of speedy receivers, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
The Packers will likely enter this matchup as underdogs, so they’ll need to put together a sterling game plan to out-wit the Dolphins on both sides of the ball to come out of this game with a win. They won’t have the benefit of their usual home-field advantage for the Yuletide contest, so any edge that they can find over Miami will be key to securing victory.
Watch for Rodgers and the Green Bay running game to show a national audience that, despite their struggles in 2022, the Packers are still among the most dangerous teams in the NFL, and will be contenders in the years to come.
