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.

Tua Tagovailoa and Mike McDaniel hold out hope the Miami Dolphins still can make playoffs even at 5-7, trailing Denver for final spot by two games.

The Dolphins failed to dispel narratives about how they play in cold weather against good teams, and those concerns are only amplified after Thursday night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers.
