GREEN BAY, Wis. — Nobody is wishing bad health on Jordan Love , but what a story it would be if Malik Willis faced the Tennessee Titans in their building Sunday. Love’s knee and Willis’ possible redemption will be the two main storylines for the Green Bay Packers this week, but plenty more emerged from Sunday’s 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts aside from Willis’ play and the run-game dominance.
Advertisement After rewatching the game, here are 13 thoughts I had. 1. I wouldn’t be surprised if Keisean Nixon doesn’t return a single kick until the weather turns and the ball firms up later this season.
The last one against the Philadelphia Eagles doesn’t really count because Nixon went buck wild out of desperation with the Packers needing a spark down five with 27 seconds left, bringing one out from 8 yards deep to only the 16-yard line. The other seven kicks he’s been back for have gone for touchbacks. The Eagles and Colts, and probably the Titans and whoever else the Packers play for at least the first half of the season, are fine with giving Green Bay the extra 5 yards that come with the new touchback rules instead of risking the back-to-back first-team All-Pro kick returner breaking one.

He missed a 43-ya.
