Green Bay went ahead 28-12 on Adams' 25-yard touchdown catch with 7:24 left in the third quarter."This league has always been about big plays," coach Mike McCarthy said. "You can't score points without big plays and you have to make big plays to win the game."Maybe this is the victory that will get the Packers going in the tight NFC North race following a choppy first half of the season.Jason Sanders tied a Dolphins franchise rookie record with four field goals, but Miami (5-5) couldn't find the end zone. The Dolphins squandered another opportunity on the game-opening drive after Brock Osweiler fumbled away a shotgun snap.The Packers cashed in on that turnover, too, when Rodgers and Adams connected on their first touchdown for a 7-0 lead."We turned it over and we didn't take advantage of opportunities," Dolphins coach Adam Gase said.His defense also had trouble slowing down Jones, who finished with 15 carries to give Green Bay some much-needed balance.A slashing style and an explosive burst through the hole make Jones a threat to bust a big run on any carry. He accounted for 54 yards of total offense on the opening drive alone.Jones added a career-long 67-yarder to give him 96 yards on four carries in the first quarter alone."We got the run game going. We had a lot more balance, which we hadn't had all season," said Rodgers, who was 19 of 28 for 199 yards.Adams had four catches for 57 yards.BROCK STOPS HEREOsweiler was 23 of 37 for 213 yards in his fifth start for the injured Ryan Tannehill. Miami had 294 yards of total offense, an admirable effort given that they were missing three starting offensive linemen.But Osweiler was sacked six times, including three straight plays late in the fourth quarter."Overall, I just need to be better and this organization deserves better because we left a lot on the table out there tonight," Osweiler said.RECORD RUNA 9-yard run with about 3陆 minutes left in the first quarter put Miami's Frank Gore over the 500-yard mark for an NFL-record 14th straight season. He broke a tie with Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton.RUNNING AWAYJones said he had about 10 family members, including both of his parents, in the stands at Lambeau to watch his career night."It means a lot.

It's a blessing."COSTLY KICKSanders booted a kickoff out of bounds after his fourth field goal to allow the Packers to start their next drive at the 40, which ended with a 10-yard touchdown run by Jones.UNDAUNTED DOLPHINSGase said the team believed they could win on Sunday despite so many injuries, not including the ones that happened during the game. Miami forced two turnovers on special teams, blocking a punt and forcing Tramon Williams to fumble on a return for good field position each time."That field position, we didn't take advantage of," Gase said. "Those type of things, you can't do against this guy (Rodgers). You do that, it's just a matter of time before he makes it right."QUOTABLE"It's heartbreaking ... and then you have a fire in my adopted home of southern California, so it's been a tough week for sure, and myself and the guys from northern California, our thoughts and our prayers are with those folks." 鈥?Rodgers, who was born in Chico, California, on the wildfires ravaging the state.

Since there will undoubtedly be numerous opinions expressed this week about whether the Miami Dolphins will retain head coach Adam Gase and general manager Chris Grier, I won’t attempt to speculate about their futures with the team. What I’d like to do is have a discussion about what the Dolphins should do to improve themselves this off-season, regardless of who’s coaching the team or picking the players. To keep it simple http://www.authenticsmiamidolphins.com/cheap-davon-godchaux-jersey , let’s combine the draft and free agency into a single entity. Here’s what I would do if I were in charge:Number one, linemen, linemen, linemen.The Dolphins were pushed around at the line of scrimmage far too many times over the past couple of years, on both sides of the ball, particularly between the tackles. Look for Miami to acquire guards, centers and defensive tackles early and often in 2019, whether it be via free agency, the draft or through trades. They also need to place a premium on positional flexibility; at least one of their offensive linemen should be able to line up at both guard and center. The next thing I’d be looking to do is strengthen the linebacker unit; maybe 2017 second round pick Raekwon McMillan will vastly improve in his second full year as a starter, but the team shouldn’t count on it. I’d also like to see a better option at cornerback, to pair with up and coming star Xavien Howard, and move 2018 first rounder Minkah Fitzpatrick to free safety, where his instincts and intelligence will best serve the team.The Dolphins need to find a quarterback who can be counted on if Ryan Tannehill is out for any length of time; Brock Osweiler simply wasn’t up to the task this past season. There is a running joke around the league that a young wide receiver making his first start was watching film in preparation for playing the Dolphins, and he was apprehensive about facing the huge, imposing players he saw lined up on the outside for Miami. He told his coach that he didn’t think he could handle such large players in his first game as a pro. His coach said, “Don’t worry, son, those are the Dolphins’ defensive ends. They like to have them line up near the sidelines http://www.authenticsmiamidolphins.com/cheap-albert-wilson-jersey , in case they’re needed in run support along the perimeter”. Miami needs to scrap that ridiculous ‘wide nine’ scheme in favor of a more traditional alignment. They should also greatly reduce their use of zone defense in the passing game, as well.Speaking of zone, one of my biggest criticisms of the Dolphins in recent years is their being so enamored with the zone blocking style of offensive line play; you’re not going to out-scheme the kinds of tough, physical defensive fronts that the AFC East is known for. As Bill Parcells used to say, power football will beat finesse football almost every time. I think the Dolphins should go to a more physical, man-on-man style of line play, while still retaining some of the aspects of the zone system. Legendary San Francisco coach Bill Walsh used to say that the reason many types of offensive philosophies don’t succeed in the NFL because the coaches who run them are too gung ho about using them; many of these types of schemes actually tend to work better when they’re used as part of the overall offense, rather than as an every down style of play. Overall, I was actually fairly pleased with the Dolphins this season, although I would have liked them to win about three more games. They beat the three teams I most wanted them to beat, in Chicago, New England and Oakland, and they were at least entertaining in most of their games. If Gase and owner Stephen Ross can come to some kind of agreement, in terms of Gase’s play calling duties and a few other things, I think Miami will be a much better team in 2019 than they’ve been the past couple of years.
