Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur couldn’t believe that Keisean Nixon was called for the penalty.Many on social media couldn’t either.Nixon was grabbed by the neck area by Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden after a play in the second quarter of the Packers-Bears game on Dec. 7.Burden’s actions came after Nixon approached him and had some words.The 21-year-old rookie must have taken exception and then put his right hand under Nixon’s chin strap.Nixon flailed his right arm back at Burden to get him off and Carrington Valentine also came into the picture to provide some separation.A penalty then was thrown. And it was just on Nixon. It was the second penalty for Nixon on the drive.LaFleur had a mouthful for the refs and later for Nixon as well. The Bears would go on to get a field goal on the drive.Matt LaFleur reacts to the unnecessary roughness called against Green Bay.📺: FOX pic.twitter.com/2jAHn6Knwd— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) December 7, 2025Keisean Nixon penalty reactionsChicago Bear hanging out in Green Bay’s huddle grabs Packer by the throat….Packer pushes him…penalty on the Packers lol pic.twitter.com/vasQJfsrUd— Packerfan Total Access- Clayton (@packers_access) December 7, 2025This was a flag on Green Bay btw… pic.twitter.com/PSfcDvklxK— Lord Lambeau 🧀 (@LordLambeau) December 7, 2025Keisean Nixon gets grabbed by neck… and is the one flagged for unnecessary roughness. Egregious call by the refs. pic.twitter.com/IDEDnPyHP4— Ashley Washburn (@ashleyjwashburn) December 7, 2025I’m still kinda confused. Keisean Nixon walked over to Luther Burden, Burden shoved his hand into Nixon’s neck as if to choke him, Nixon shoved him away and that’s when he got flagged.
