description

Green Bay knew to “never say never” in Week 4, particularly during a 63-year head-to-head NFC North rivalry built on chaos; yet, with a 21-point deficit appearing likely to balloon, the need for a playmaker had seldom been greater. Something of a big-play guarantee during his first month in the green-and-yellow, Xavier McKinney answered the call in a major way, undercutting Minnesota’s downfield sail route with an acrobatic interception. It marked McKinney’s fifth-consecutive game with a pick, a streak that he would turn into the longest in NFL’s history a week later. The Packers’ breathtaking comeback attempt would fall just short in a 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sept. 29, 2024, but not before brilliance from McKinney, who recorded a four-tackle, one-interception output.
