Packers turn muffed punt into quick TD and 7 0 lead over Dolphins

The Green Bay Packers took advantage of the first takeaway of the game on Thanksgiving Night to score on a rushing touchdown from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed in the first quarter at Lambeau Field.

The Packers recovered a deflected Malik Washington punt inside the 10-yard line, and Love hit Reed with a 3-yard touchdown pass on third down, putting Green Bay up 7 just three minutes into the first quarter: 0 in the lead.

Love, who missed Reed on a long touchdown pass on the first possession, didn't waste a second chance, threading a breakaway route against rookie Storm Duck's coverage.

Here is the touchdown pass:

A quick injury update: It is questionable whether cornerback Corey Ballentine will return after suffering an injury in the game's opener.
