GREEN BAY Christian Wilkins Miami Dolphins Jerseys , Wis. (AP) — For a change, it was the Packers in a runaway.Aaron Jones ran for career highs of 145 yards and two scores, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams connected for two touchdown passes and the Green Bay beat the Miami Dolphins 31-12 on Sunday.The Packers (4-4-1) pulled away in the second half, sandwiching scoring drives around cornerback Bashaud Breeland’s interception deep in Miami territory. Green Bay went ahead 28-12 on Adams’ 25-yard touchdown catch with 7:24 left in the third quarter.Article continues below ...“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 Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , 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 3½ 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. I didn’t tell anybody, but I made this game for my parents. So now I’ve got two touchdown balls to give to both of them,” he said. “It works out. 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 Christian Wilkins black jersey , 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.” — Rodgers, who was born in Chico, California, on the wildfires ravaging the state.

With one game remaining on the Miami Dolphins 2018 season, the future of Mike Tannenbaum, Dolphins Vice President of Football Operations, has been decided - he is going to be out at the end of the year. For General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Adam Gase, their futures are still up in the air.On Christmas night, I tweeted a thread that contained several tidbits regarding the Miami Dolphins front office and coaching situation. To recap, I stated the following:Stephen Ross still hasn’t fully made up his mind and Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills matters for Adam Gase. A convincing win and he has a decent chance of staying. A loss puts him on life support.Mike Tannenbaum would be out regardless of Sunday’s result.Ross has a few targets in mind for the head coach position but may not have a chance to lure them in, due to playoff interview rules and other external factors.Ross likes Grier and Gase Christian Wilkins Jersey Mens , which is why someone like Dan Marino might make sense for the VP of Football Operations role.There are many complex layers to the situation and they are still unfolding.On Wednesday morning, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald confirmed all of this information with this article.There are several takeaways from this article and from the information I gathered. One major takeaway is that Ross is still unsure as to what he should do with Grier and Gase, which is why Sunday’s game matters for their future. However, many say that the future of this franchise shouldn’t be decided on one game. After all, Ross has had three full seasons to evaluate the job Gase has done...or has he? Gase had a very impressive first season as head coach in 2016, leading the Dolphins to a playoff berth despite losing his starting quarterback late in the season. After a rough start, he showed the ability to adapt to the strengths of his team and led the Dolphins on an impressive stretch to end the season.Ryan Tannehill posted career highs in all major categories and Gase’s offense was running quite well. Almost everyone thought the Dolphins had their coach of the future.But in his second season as head coach, Gase lost Tannehill in training camp and had to scramble to find a replacement, He brought in Jay Cutler, which led to disastrous results. Factor that in with the hurricane forcing them to have no bye week and other distractions that came up (such as Chris Foerster snorting cocaine in his office), and everyone was willing to give Gase a pass in year two.This past season has come with mixed results. After starting off 3-0, the Dolphins collapsed. But, Gase will tell you that injuries have played a big role as to why the Dolphins are not in the playoffs this season. One may even believe him as the Dolphins should have started off 4-1, and likely would have Miami Dolphins Jersey 2019 , if Laremy Tunsil didn’t exit the Cincinnati Bengals game with an injury. One could also argue that had not Albert Wilson gotten injured against the Detroit Lions, they would’ve won that game as he was gashing their defense throughout the game. He can argue that they would have beaten the Green Bay Packers if he had all of his starters. Those three wins there would put the Dolphins in the playoffs today and likely the AFC East winners.But, Gase’s detractors will say that the Dolphins would be in the playoffs had they not blown leads to the Bengals and Indianapolis Colts. They can say that those two wins would have the Dolphins in the playoffs today. Gase would then just as easily defend himself by saying that Matt Burke, his defensive coordinator blew that game and not him.Gase’s detractors will then come in and say this - you have the 30th ranked defense and the 30th ranked offense. You have a total yard differential of -1,756 and a total point differential of -89. Your seven losses? They’ve all been by double digit points. Your wins? None of them have been by more than one possession. And let’s not even begin to talk about your road record.Gase can then defend himself and say that he doesn’t have the same Ryan Tannehill he had in 2016 (due to injuries) and his offensive line is a mess. He can say that he was swayed in other directions by Tannenbaum and place the blame there. Gase’s detractors can then say that he hitched himself to Tannehill and Cutler, and brought in Brock Osweiler to be the primary backup quarterback. They can ask why they should trust Gase moving forward?Gase can then defend himself and say that he had his eyes on Josh Allen in the draft and wasn’t able to get him. He can say that he has a plan this coming year to get his kind of quarterback, the one that will make him successful.When Ross hired Gase, he really believed he had the offensive Bill Belichick - one who can come in and dominate in games. He truly believes that Gase can have the long-term impact that Don Shula had in Miami. But, this season has raised many questions.So, you can see why all of this is complicated for Ross and those closest to him. There are some in the Dolphins organization who are big fans of Gase and that side seems to be winning right now. However, a blowout loss on Sunday can change all of that. Which way will Ross go? A lot is still up in the air, despite having nearly three full seasons to evaluate.Stay tuned as more information unfolds this week.
