After a rainy Thursday night game and a full slate of NFL action on Saturday, Week 16 rolls on with a Christmas Day triple-header. ◽️1 p.m. ET: Packers at Dolphins ◽️4:30 p.m. ET: Broncos at Rams ◽️8:20 p.m. ET: Bucs at Cardinals Live updates ⤵️
Keisean Nixon’s mom originally planned to watch her son in person for the first time this season on Christmas Day in Miami.
Dwanique Spiller would normally attend all of her son’s home and away games despite living in Las Vegas, but she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, and her doctor only cleared her to travel mere days before the Packers hosted the Rams on Monday Night Football earlier this week. She said the cancer makes her body “really sensitive” to heat and cold, so she thought it was smarter to return for a December game in South Florida rather than Green Bay.
Last weekend was her birthday weekend, however, and she wanted to spend it with her son. She also wanted to experience Lambeau Field in person because she’s not sure if Nixon, whom the Packers signed to a one-year deal in March, will be back with the team in 2023. She landed in Wisconsin on Saturday night and attended the Packers’ walkthrough on Sunday. Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, who coached Nixon during his first three years in the NFL with the Raiders and vouched for him in Green Bay, spoke with Spiller. So did defensive coordinator Joe Barry. Head coach Matt LaFleur told her not to leave too soon because he too wanted to chat with her.
