“Cut Him Now” Packers All-Pro Sees Video Leak Of Him Making “Business Decision” On Bears TD (Video)

The Green Bay Packers’ dramatic second-half meltdown in their NFC Wild Card playoff loss to the rival Chicago Bears on January 10, 2026, at Soldier Field continued to spark controversy the next day, with cornerback Keisean Nixon facing heavy scrutiny for a perceived “business decision” on a key touchdown play.

Packers CB Keisean Nixon Called Out for ‘Business Decision’ in Crucial Play During Bears Playoff Collapse

The Packers dominated early, building a commanding 21-3 halftime lead behind Jordan Love’s three touchdown passes (to Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs). Green Bay still held a 21-6 advantage entering the fourth quarter, but the Bears erupted for 25 points in the final frame, erasing an 18-point deficit to win 31-27 — Chicago’s first playoff victory since 2010 and the largest comeback in Bears playoff history.

The turning point many fans and analysts highlighted came early in the fourth quarter. With the Bears facing a goal-line situation, running back D’Andre Swift punched in a 3-yard touchdown, slicing through traffic to cut Green Bay’s lead to 12 points and snap a string of stalled red-zone drives for Chicago.

End-zone replay footage, shared widely (including in analyst Warren Sharp’s viral tweet), showed Nixon (#25) with a clear angle to stop Swift but choosing not to engage in the tackle. Sharp captioned the clip:

“Nixon with the business decision at the goal line.”

Implying the veteran CB opted against risking injury or contact in a high-stakes moment — a term often used in the NFL for players prioritizing self-preservation over all-out effort.

This non-tackle allowed Swift to score easily, giving the Bears momentum that fueled their historic rally. Caleb Williams, who struggled in the first half but exploded for big plays late (including a go-ahead 25-yard TD pass to DJ Moore with 1:48 left), praised his team’s resilience postgame:

“We understand that it’s 60 minutes of football… you keep going, you keep fighting. And when the clock hits zero, you’ll look up and see who wins.”

Nixon Could Be on The Way Out In Green Bay

Nixon, known for his return skills and aggressive play (he sealed a regular-season win over the Bears with a late interception in December), has been a key piece of Green Bay’s secondary. However, Nixon’s play has been inconsistent this season and this could be the final nail in the coffin.

The loss, their second straight against Chicago this season (including regular-season splits), ended Green Bay’s year at 9-7-1 and intensified offseason questions around head coach Matt LaFleur (extension talks ongoing) and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley (drawing head coaching interest).

For Packers fans, the “business decision” label stings as a symbol of what went wrong in a game they once controlled. Was it smart self-preservation or a lack of effort? The debate rages on X and beyond.
