INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Green Bay safety Xavier McKinney became the first NFL player since the 1970 merger to get an interception in his first five games with a team during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. McKinney, signed by the Packers during the offseason after four seasons with the New York Giants, reached the milestone with 8:10 remaining in the third when he picked off Matthew Stafford's overthrown pass intended for Tutu Atwell. McKinney hauled it in at the Green Bay 18-yard line and returned it 28 yards. McKinney tied Irv Comp's run of five straight in 1943 for the longest interception streak in franchise history.
