Dolphins’ Tagovailoa hopes to continue his hot streak while playing in cold weather at Green Bay

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hopes to continue his hot streak in the cold when he and the Miami Dolphins visit Lambeau Field for a Thanksgiving night matchup against the Green Bay Packers. “We’re obviously nowhere near the temperatures where all these other cold teams play at being in Miami, where it’s 80,” said Tagovailoa, who grew up in Hawaii and attended college at Alabama. “And we all know the speed that these guys have — it’s unlike probably any team in the National Football League.” Familiar faces Tagovailoa remembers how competitive practices at Alabama were with former college teammates Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney. “Just from us getting a whole bunch of mental reps, we’re going to come out and play fast on Thursday.” Productive tight ends Miami’s Jonnu Smith has 188 yards receiving on 15 catches with three touchdowns over his past two games.
