A Cheesy Game on Christmas
The NFL Playoff Picture is winding down as the season comes to a close. A special Christmas day matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins proved to be a crucial game for both teams.
For the Dolphins, they started the season with an 8-3 record and looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. At one point, they even led their tough division which included the likes of Super Bowl favorites Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately for Miami, they dropped their last 3 games in a row and have slid into the cusp of the Wildcard Playoff spot with an 8-6 record. Many did not criticize the Dolphins in their 3 game losing streak as they faced difficult opponents on the road such as the 49ers, Chargers, and Bills. However, the Dolphins were back at home and were favored to beat to 6-8 Packers.
For the Packers, they started the season with some dysfunctional offense as they lost key wide receiver Davante Adams in the offseason and struggled to find a wide receiver within the roster to replace Adams’ production. After a 3-1 start, the Packers would go on to lose 7 of their next 8 games. With a 4-8 record, the team looked ready to bow out the playoff race but a rejuvenated offense gave the team 2 consecutive wins to bring their record to 6-8. After their win on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams, the Packers gave the Cheesehead Fandom a reason to believe in a playoff spot. Although very difficult to go on the road and beat a team with a winning record, Cheesehead fans all through Wisconsin hoped for a Christmas miracle.
The Dolphins started the game red hot by scoring an 84 yard passing touchdown to Jaylen Waddle. A drive later, Tua Tagovailoa connected on a 52 yard pass to Tyreek Hill which set up a 1 yard rushing Touchdwon by Jeff Wilson Jr! Although the Packers trailed 17-10, the need to win oversaw the conservative approach as they would run a fake punt on 4th down which did not convert. The Dolphins were set up in excellent field position and tacked on 3 points with a field goal.
After another Packer drive stalled out, the Dolphins regained possession with momentum to score again. With a 20-10 lead, Packers defensive tackle stripped Miami Dolphins’ Raheem Mostert of the ball and was able to fall on top of it. A crucial play that led to a Packers field goal to end the half down 20-13.
A great opening drive in the second half saw Packers’ quarterback lace a beautiful 31 yard pass down the sideline to Marcedes Lewis. That play would set up a 1 yard rushing score for AJ Dillon which even up the game at 20-20.
The Dolphins would try to respond with a 48 yard field goal, but Jason Sanders would miss wide right which kept the score even through the third quarter.
The 4th quarter started with the Packers tossing an interception in the endzone. Just when the momentum had shifted to the Dolphins, Tua Tagovailoa overthrew his receiver an interception brought the Packers into excellent position! Although the Cheeseheads could not score a touchdown, they managed to tack on a field goal which gave them the lead for the first time in the game at 23-20.
Tua Tagovailoa looked to redeem his error by leading a drive down the field. Unfortunately for the Phins, Tua threw a pass down the middle without ever seeing the Packers’ linebacker De’Vondre Campbell who swooped in the intercept the ball!
A long drive filled with excellent runs by the Packers led to another field goal, extending the lead to 6 with just 2 minutes to go. Even with things looking bleak for the Miami offense, Tagovailoa still had one final drive to try to salvage a win.
The home crowd encouraged and cheered for a final game winning drive, but it was the Packers defense that would come up with another interception on a badly underthrown ball to seal the game!
Many fans were critical of Tua Tagovailoa’s performance as he threw a whopping 3 interceptions in the 4th quarter. The brutal nickname, Tua Turndaballova was trending on Twitter as fans criticize the lack of ball security Tua possessed in the 4th quarter. Understandably so, fans should also consider the amazing first half of football Tua played before bashing the young 3rd year quarterback. He threw for over 200 yards and a touchdown in just the first half.
Now I’m not trying to excuse the 3 crucial interceptions he threw in the first half, I just believe that fans shouldn’t berate the quarterback that brought excitement to Miami for the first time since Dan Marino. Fans should remember that Tua suffered a major head trauma injury in which the team doctor unwisely allowed him to play in the next day. This caused an even more significant head trauma injury that fans were not sure if he would return to play for a couple of months.
With this road win, the Cheesehead Packers inch closer to a Wildcard spot as they improve to a 7-8 record. The Dolphins drop to 8-7 which would still be good enough for a Wildcard spot, but many teams are lurking for that spot like the Jets, Patriots, and Titans with a 7-8 record.
Luckily for the Dolphins their final two games will be against the Jets and Patriots so victories in those games would clinch a playoff spot. For the Packers, they will finish with two home games against tough opponents such as the Vikings and the Lions. Even with victories in these games, the Cheesehead fans will need some losses from the Commanders and Seahawks to get their team into the playoffs.
