Green Bay Packers linebacker Christian Kirksey enjoyed a career first on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

For the very first time in his NFL career, Kirksey’s team is 1-0 entering Week 2.

After six straight seasons of suffering through a season-opening loss (or tie) with the Cleveland Browns, Kirksey enjoyed the Packers’ 43-34 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

“It’s my first time ever in my career being 1-0 to start the season,” Kirksey said Wednesday. “I definitely had a kick out of that. So I’m just excited.
