News about Keisean Nixon

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs wanted to fight the entire Green Bay Packers roster before being held back by staff members from both teams as well as an official on Sunday. The scuffle started between Diggs and Jaire Alexander where the Texans star was trash-talking the Packers cornerback near the Green Bay sideline. Fellow Green Bay defensive back Keisean Nixon did not too kindly to something Diggs said, getting in his face as well.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon is admittedly 'excited' to open the NFL season against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 6 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He's just not saying why. 'I was actually really excited to go to Brazil,' the smiling 26-year-old told reporters this week at Packers OTAs. 'I'm still excited to go to Brazil. I ain't gonna tell y'all why, but I'm excited to go to Brazil.' Then, after describing himself as a 'leaping lemur,' Nixon reiterated: 'I'm excited to go to Brazil. Real excited.'

Chiefs receivers Rashee Rice and Skyy Moore attempted to confuse the Packers defense with a rub route with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, Nixon's flawless man-marking resulted in an over-the-shoulder tackle, which contributed to Green Bay's victory. The play's after-game, Nixon said that tapping his knee as they watched on tape was a signal for Kansas City to remove two receivers from the field and allow him to play flawless defense. 'I'm like, 'I've never seen this before.' 'I knew he was going to run it, and he succeeded,' Nixon said.

Nixon was determined to keep the Chiefs offense at bay in the last quarter of Sunday's game in Wisconsin, with Green Bay leading 19-24. As the Chiefs attempted to destabilize the Packers' defense with a tumultuous route, but to no avail. Shortly after, Nixon made the crucial interception to seal Green Bay's most memorable win of the season

Following a fair catch on a kickoff, NFL owners accepted a rule change that would see the ball be placed on the 25-yard line. On Tuesday, the NFL voted whether or not to enforce a rule that will place the ball at the 25-yard-line on kickoffs if someone calls for a fair catch. Any kick returner who calls a fair catch will have the ball placed on whatever yard line they stand on at the time, as reported above. If they call a fair catch and it rolls into the end zone for a touchback, it is the only exception - when it is placed on the 25.
