Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley predicted a strong showing from cornerback Keisean Nixon as the team heads into its wildu2011card playoff matchup against the Chicago Bears. Hafley said Nixon is locked in and primed to answer the rivalry’s biggest moments after mixed results in their prior meetings this season.
Nixon’s season has been a study in highs and lows against Chicago, producing a gameu2011sealing interception in one matchup and a late blown assignment in another that helped force overtime.
