Good morning for WRCO Sports.
I'm Bo Henrichs in for fill me Jordan love through two touchdown passes to Jaden
Reed and the Green Bay Packers capitalized on a fast start to beat Miami 30 to 17 to snap
the Dolphins three game winning streak green Bay has won three straight and seven of its
last eight Miami continued its recent history of struggling in cold weather the kickoff
temperature at Lambo Field was 27 degrees with 10 mile an hour wins light flurry's at
a winch of 18 Dolphins have lost their past 12 regular season or postseason games in
which the temperature at kickoff has been below 40 degrees.
After the game Packer head coach Matt LaFour spoke about how the Packers are playing their
best football right now.
Yeah, I'd say so.
I think I mean, I think Miami is a really good football team and it's a national football
league.
I think our ability to jump out to a big lead obviously was instrumental, but I was
really proud of our defense.
They have a second goal on the one yard line and to be able to hold them out of the
in zone there.
That was a critical moment in the game.
As the Packers played a very strong game, but on both sides of the ball as a Packer head
coach at Matt LaFour also spoke about how the team is really physical right now.
I just love the mentality of our football team or guys.
They stream for one another.
They fight.
They block and they try to inflict pain, which as a coach, you'd love to see.
The Packers will have a full week to prepare for their next game as they will have another
Thursday night game next week against Detroit.
A victory today against the Minnesota Gofers could get rid of the bad taste for a disappointing
regular season that victory would make the Badgers bowl eligible.
The work will have to be done in frigid conditions, the national weather service predicts game
time temperatures in the low 20s with 15 mile an hour winds producing a wind chill of
about 10 degrees.
That would make it the coldest game at Camp Rindle Stadium in 60 years.
