The Green Bay Packers couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the opening kick off, returner Keisean Nixon would fumble the ball and eventually lose it. Three plays later, Philadelphia was in the endzone.
However, fans believe Philadelphia never should have had the ball in the first place.
“Completely Rigged” Packers Fans Erupt As Refs Ignore Recovery, Give Ball To Eagles
Here are multiple replays of the kickoff return where Nixon fumbled the ball:
#PACKERS NIXON LITERALLY HAD FULL POSSESSION OF THE BALL HERE AND THE REFS STILL GAVE THE BALL TO THE #EAGLES.
Philly now scores a touchdown. And Green Bay may never recover from this.
AWFUL REFEREEING.
