Bears Owner George McCaskey Calls on NFL to Punish Packers Star Cornerback Keisean Nixon for Unsportsmanlike Conduct After 22–16 Win Over Packers– Tense Moment Video Sparks Outrage in Bears Community
Chicago, Illinois – December 23, 2025
The 22–16 victory over longtime rival Green Bay Packers should have ended as a night of pure celebration for the Chicago Bears. Instead, just hours after the final whistle, the conversation around the NFL shifted sharply — away from the scoreboard and toward a controversial hit that was clearly captured on video and quickly spread across social media.
According to multiple sources, team owner George McCaskey has directly urged the league to review and discipline Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon following a forceful collision with DJ Moore in the first half. Although no flag was thrown on the field, slow-motion replays from several angles showed Moore being driven to the turf with significant force and briefly leaving the game for evaluation — imagery that sparked immediate outrage among Bears fans.
The play occurred as Moore completed his route and appeared to be decelerating when Nixon arrived with a hard hit that sent the Chicago receiver sprawling. No serious injury was reported, but the timing and nature of the contact led many to question whether the play crossed the line from hard-nosed competition into unsportsmanlike behavior.

McCaskey, who rarely comments publicly on officiating or disciplinary matters, took an unusually firm stance. For him, this was about more than a single snap — it was a broader issue of player safety and league standards.
“Competition is the lifeblood of the NFL, but it only matters when it’s rooted in respect,” McCaskey emphasized. “That moment crossed an unacceptable line — not only endangering our player, but challenging the very values this league is supposed to uphold. Football is built on strength and discipline, not actions that place others at unnecessary risk.”
Head coach Ben Johnson declined to dive into specifics afterward, but acknowledged that the Bears had “reviewed the film very carefully.” Inside the locker room, several players said the incident became an emotional catalyst, fueling a sharper edge in the second half and overtime as Chicago closed out the win.
The NFL has since begun its standard postgame disciplinary review. Under league policy, instances of unnecessary roughness that go unpenalized during the game can still result in fines or supplemental discipline after further evaluation. A final decision is expected later this week.
In the meantime, Bears fans continue to voice their anger online, viewing the situation as a test of the league’s commitment to player safety. For Chicago, the win over Green Bay solidified its playoff position. But the fallout that followed — and McCaskey’s pointed call for accountability — has placed the NFL at a clear crossroads: reinforce its standards, or allow a moment of controversy to fade without consequence.
