Just a month ago, under the biting December chill at Lambeau Field, the ground seemed to quake with emotion. Keisean Nixon’s interception of Caleb Williams in the end zone wasn’t just a defensive play—it was a declaration. The Green Bay Packers had triumphed over the Chicago Bears and were on top of the NFC North. I will never forget the yell I let out and hugging a Lambeau security guard, it was impossible to ignore: we had just witnessed a defining moment of the season.
My father and I, too, were amped up to think clearly, looped the entire stadium, forgetting Oneida Gate was directly to our right, and went left.
