Rookie receiver Malik Washington dropped back to take the first punt of the game, but muffed it, putting the Packers at the Miami 9-yard line. Green Bay scored a touchdown in three plays, and the Dolphins never climbed out of that hole.

The Green Bay Packers enjoyed a late-night Thanksgiving feast on Thursday, complete with cold weather, big reaches and some awkwardness in the later parts of the meal. By the end of the first half, the Packers had a 24-3 lead over the Miami Dolphins.
