Following the Miami Dolphins’ 30–17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in chilly weather at Lambeau Field, linebacker Jordyn Brooks criticized the team’s performance, labeling it “soft”. He pointed to the cold weather as a major factor affecting their play, suggesting that the elements disrupted the team’s focus and effectiveness. Miami’s defense, plagued by missed tackles and penalties, struggled to adapt, a recurring problem for the team in cold environments. The loss dropped the Dolphins to a 5–7 record, hurting their playoff chances.
Despite Brooks’ comments, head coach Mike McDaniels refrained from blaming the weather, and emphasized poor execution and technique as the main reasons for the loss. It was another setback for the Dolphins, who have historically struggled in cold weather games.
