GREEN BAY — Keisean Nixon grabbed his iPhone from his stall inside the luxe home locker room at Lambeau Field and quickly scanned his messages. One stood out immediately.
The Green Bay Packers veteran cornerback had just broken up five passes during the team’s Week 2 win over the visiting Washington Commanders on “Thursday Night Football” — a Sept. 11 game that had been nationally streamed on Amazon Prime — and found a familiar name among the well-wishers.

A few Thursday nights later, Nixon was at home streaming Rodgers and his new team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in a back-and-forth tussle with the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Bengals escaped with the victory, the 41-year-old Rodgers had delivered a turn-back-the-clock performance, completing 23 of 34 passes for 249 yards
