The Packers registered their third win on the bounce for the first time since week four. With some help from the team around them, a playoff berth looks very likely.

This Packers fan seems pretty mad at his quarterback.
Rodgers did nothing to win that game Ric… I’m from Wisconsin and I’m saying he looked like he didn’t wanna win. Once the pack went up in the fourth I started begging for the packers to not throw because of this bum

This fan credits the Packers’ defense and special team for the win.

Kick returner Keisean Nixon set the tone early for the Packers with a 94-yard return on the team’s first offensive drive. The Dolphins managed to keep the Packers to a field goal, but the home team was clearly rattled.
Rodgers had an under-par performance according to his own standards. The QB threw 238 passing yards with one touchdown. The Dolphins’ defense picked up one of his passes. But with three interceptions in a row in the second half, Tagovailoa handed a victory to the guests as a Christmas present.
