The ball came loose, and Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. eventually emerged from the pile with it.<\/p>\n<p>The question is whether Nixon got the ball back first. Replays appeared to show that Nixon reached out and pulled the ball into his body while on the ground. He may have then had it wrestled away after recovering it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That&#39;s how you bring the boom.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GBvsPHI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GBvsPHI<\/a> on FOX<br \/>\ud83d\udcf1: Stream on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLPlus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NFLPlus<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dv89DKofVp\">pic.twitter.com\/dv89DKofVp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1878558447840727206?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>You can see another angle:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Packers fumble the ball on the kickoff \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M4ZAwWA5BA\">pic.twitter.com\/M4ZAwWA5BA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonFOX\/status\/1878558490592981025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The call on the field was that the Eagles recovered.
