Running back AJ Dillon then picked up six yards on the ground before Rodgers came back to the slant, finding wide receiver Christian Watson, who turned it into a 20-yard gain. Green Bay looked to respond, starting with an 11-yard slant from Rodgers to wide receiver Allen Lazard after Miami tried to squib kick the ball, only to give the Packers the ball at the 46-yard line. Love Hill blocking all the way down the field to make sure Waddle scored. Getting Waddle involved in the offense, early is a great sign as he has disappeared over the last few weeks.

Roberts had a great first defensive possession, recording the tackle on the first play and the sack on the second. The Packers had to move the ball nine yards to score, and they actually ended up 18 yards away from the goal line. An incomplete pass on third down led to a Packers field goal. On 2nd-and-Goal, linebacker Elandon Roberts rushed up the middle and pulled down the packers’ quarterback for a 13-yard sack. Running back Aaron Jones picked up four yards on the first play, taking the ball to the Dolphins four-yard line. The Packers opened their first possession at the Dolphins’ nine-yard line after a Keisean Nixon 93-yard kick return. They cannot play the field goal game all day, not with Aaron Rodgers on the other sideline, but in this case, it did not feel like a bad play call or a wasted opportunity. A run there could probably have converted the first down, but the look was there and Miami took a chance.

The third-down pass toward Hill was the look Miami wanted, with single coverage on their top receiver, but the coverage stuck with him and did not allow him to make a play on the ball. The running game is working, so the Dolphins need to make sure they stick with it. Miami settled for a 46-yard field goal from Jason Sanders to open the scoring.

On 3rd-and-3 from the Packers’ 33-yard line, Tagovailoa looked toward Hill down the sideline, but the ball fell incomplete. After a Miami timeout to avoid a delay-of-game penalty, Miami turned to back to the ground game, this time with running back Jeff Wilson, Jr., who picked up five yards. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa found wide receiver Tyreek Hill for 14 yards on the next play, with Mostert then picking up 17 yards and two yards on two carries. The Dolphins started the game on offense, opening the possession with an incomplete pass followed by a 14-yard run from running back Raheem Mostert. Packers 26 - 20 Dolphins First Quarter Reactions
