The Green Bay Packers are lucky to have Josh Jacobs.
He is built for cold-weather games at Lambeau Field, and the former All-Pro delivered again in the Packers' big win over the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving. In the space of five days, Jacobs has rushed 45 times for 149 yards and four touchdowns, helping his team pick up two important wins.
All week, we heard the Dolphins talk about shutting down narratives about their inability to win cold-weather games. We weren't having any of it. In particular, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said to "bring it on," referring to the frozen temperatures.
To Tagovailoa's credit, he made some big throws and finished with 365 yards and two touchdowns, but the Dolphins didn't look prepared for the elements. From missed tackles to penalties, they were outplayed by the Packers.
Jacobs heard the same thing we all did, and he took one final shot at the Dolphins in his postgame interview.
Josh Jacobs takes a shot at Dolphins after Packers' big Thanksgiving win
Jacobs put in another dominant performance. While he only averaged 2.3 yards per carry, the rushing stats don't tell the full picture. He picked up tough yards, found the end zone, and made plays in the passing game. Jacobs caught four passes for 74 yards, including a career-best 49-yard reception.
After running all over the Dolphins' defense, he finished it off in his postgame interview.
"Them boys looked cold out there," said Jacobs, via NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe.
He's not wrong. Jacobs heard about how the Dolphins were coming to Lambeau Field to "kill the narratives." While he didn't directly reference Tagovailoa, it was the Dolphins' quarterback who started it all with his comments after Miami's win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.

No matter what the Dolphins said, it was pretty evident how the cold weather impacted them, even in pregame warmups. Packers players took to the field with sleeveless shirts. They looked comfortable. Dolphins players were so wrapped up that they looked ready to jump on the couch and watch a Thanksgiving movie.
The Packers now get seven days of rest before visiting the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. They are heating up at the right time and will need another big Jacobs performance to pick up an upset win over their red-hot division rivals.
But that's a story for another day. Right now, we can celebrate Jacobs' big day (and his trolling ability).
