The Green Bay Packers scored a massive victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. The win keeps the Packers in the playoff hunt. The Packers had a solid game all around as they efficiently handled a bad and shorthanded Rams team. One player has Packers fans excited as he took over the game Monday night.
The Packers arguably lost a couple of games this year because of special teams. Amari Rodgers’ inopportune fumbles got the second-year wide receiver cut recently. His replacement has been excellent. Keisean Nixon might have tipped the scales in the Packers’ favor against the Rams.
Nixon had two punt returns for 36 yards. He returned three kicks for 95 yards, one of them being for 52 yards. The Packers finally have themselves a dangerous kick returner as the team prepares to play a challenging next three games.
Nixon, a former undrafted free agent, is finding love with the crowd in Green Bay. The former Las Vegas Raider is fitting in well with the Packers. Here are the best takes on Twitter after Nixon’s big night against the Rams.

He honestly might be a top 5 returner in the league and this staff wasted more half the season with Amari Rodgers muffing punts and fumbling on returns What the hell were the ST units doing at practice??? https://t.co/iLK0hChNww
