Packers special teams is the talk of the first half vs. the Dolphins as social media reacts to Keisean Nixon and failed fake punt attempt

Oh, those Packers special teams.
There was the good: Keisean Nixon's 93-yard kickoff return early in the Christmas Day game after the Dolphins took the lead on a field goal (the Packers couldn't capitalize, however, and had to settle for a field goal of their own).
But then there was the bad: The Packers tried a fake punt at their own 20-yard line on a fourth-and-2 while trailing 17-10 in the second quarter. Dallin Leavitt was stuffed after taking the snap. It led to another Dolphins field goal. On the team's previous possession the Packers also failed to convert a fourth-and-2 play.
To make matters worse, Nixon injured his groin in the first half and is questionable to return. Romeo Doubs took over kickoff duties late in the second quarter after the Dolphins took a 20-10 lead.
Social media took note of all that occurred in the first half with the team's special teams.
