Tagovailoa has reignited Miami’s playoff hopes since returning to the line-up following his absence with a concussion earlier this season, becoming one of the NFL’s most efficient passers to inspire a three-game winning streak.

He enters Thursday night 0-7 in games where the temperature has been 40 degrees or colder, with the weather in Green Bay forecast to drop as low as 20 degrees (-6 Celsius) with a high of just 31 (0.5 Celsius).

Granted, marquee injuries down the stretch of last season would play a contributing role, but Miami’s 2023 campaign was notably brought to a halt in brutal minus conditions against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead during the playoffs.

Head coach McDaniel downplayed his team’s cold weather discourse as he welcomed the Thanksgiving spotlight and an opportunity for Miami to truly revive their postseason ambitions by rising to 6-6 with a victory.

“I was just going to carry ice cubes in my pockets and throw them at players all week,” said McDaniel on how he was preparing his players. “It’s nothing revolutionary. I’m not going to throw it out there for the world and act like we’ve checked the box of ‘we’ve got this answered.’ It’s a football game.
