San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (23) fumbles the ball against the Green Bay Packers during their football game on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Packers defensive end Karl Brooks (94th) saved the fumble.
Even when the game was virtually out of reach, Nixon never lost his intensity. Trailing by three touchdowns in the final quarter, McCaffrey broke off a run that would have been a significant gain without Nixon. Green Bay's versatile corner never gave up on the play, chasing McCaffrey to the tackle and knocking the ball free in the process. Defensive player Karl Brooks, who also showed a lot of effort, won the ball back. In addition to the forced fumble, Nixon appeared to be having a good day in coverage.
