Xavier McKinney Makes NFL History with Packers

Xavier McKinney, a newly signed safety for the Green Bay Packers, has made NFL history by becoming the first player since the 1970 merger to record an interception in each of his first five games with the team. McKinney achieved this feat during a game against the Los Angeles Rams, intercepting a pass from Matthew Stafford, which helped the Packers extend their lead. This accomplishment ties him with Irv Comp's franchise record from 1943 for consecutive games with an interception. McKinney's interceptions have greatly impacted the Packers' performance, contributing to their scoring and defensive strategies. His stellar start to the season positions him as a leading contender for Defensive Player of the Year and highlights the value of his four-year, $68 million contract. He joins Trevon Diggs and Brian Russell as the third player since 2000 to achieve this streak, with potential to break additional records in the upcoming games.
