Packers Muff the Middle School Stuff

A fumble recovery in the 4th quarter would have changed the game

In the second half of the Packers game against the New York Giants in London, cornerback and special teams gunner Keisean Nixon had an opportunity to turn the tide for his team, and all he had to do was fall on the ball. Instead of falling on it, he tried to grab and slide it in, and the ball squirted out of bounds—along with possession, momentum, and ultimately, the game.

Fortunately for you, dear reader, oversimplifying a complex phenomenon like a football game by focusing too much on one player or play is something I would never ever do, no siree…

BUT THAT MUFFED FUMBLE RECOVERY BY NIXON, UGH!
