    Seriously, where would the Green Bay Packers be without Xavier McKinney?

    Perhaps in serious trouble?

    McKinney had two more takeaways that led to 14 points in Green Bay's 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, including a fumble recovery and his fifth interception in five games.

    He should have had a sixth. It's at least somewhat historical.

    And the interceptions are only part of the robbery. How did the Giants let this guy get away? The Packers signed McKinney to a four-year $68 million free-agent deal (an average annual value of $17 million per season) in March.

    It appears to be money well spent by the front office. His performance through the first few weeks of the season has been nothing short of defensive player of the year worthy.

    Some Packers fans were expressing both thanks and gratitude to the New York Giants on social media for deciding not to retain McKinney's services.

    Here's a sample:
