Last year, Love led the Packers to a Thanksgiving win in Detroit, but he didn’t get a turkey leg afterward, as is common in postgame interviews. This time, his teammates made sure Love got his turkey leg, and he deserved it after throwing two touchdown passes to Jayden Reed in a 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.

“To be able to come in here, get the win, get the turkey leg after, it was very delicious,” Love said. “Just a little something to celebrate.”

Josh Jacobs brought a turkey platter into the locker room as Green Bay (9-3) celebrated their third straight win. The Packers, who have won seven of their last eight games, built a 27-3 lead and stopped the Dolphins’ comeback attempt with a goal-line stand.
