GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Welcome to the prime-time portion of the Green Bay Packers' schedule.

Call it a moon phase, but Thursday's Thanksgiving night game against the Miami Dolphins at Lambeau Field (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) is the first of four straight prime-time games for the Packers -- with the possibility of a fifth consecutive night game if the NFL flexes the Week 17 game against the Minnesota Vikings.

To some, it may be nothing more than a quirk in this season's schedule. But to others, it might require a mindset change to handle the next month.
