Packers Star Sends NSFW Message to Refs About Lack of OPI Calls After Week 11 Clash vs Giants

Green Bay, Wisconsin

The Green Bay Packers walked off Lambeau Field with a hard-earned 27-20 win over the New York Giants in Week 11. But while fans were celebrating, star safety Xavier McKinney had something else on his mind. Something boiling.

No, it wasn’t about the score. It was about what the refs refused to see.

A Game of Inches and No Flags

In a back-and-forth battle that saw Giants quarterback Jameis Winston start his first game of the season, the Packers sealed the win with a clutch interception by rookie Evan Williams in the final moments. But just before that, McKinney nearly made a game-breaking play of his own. A near interception that slipped through his grasp.

Why?

According to McKinney, he was clearly interfered with by the Giants' receiver. And what happened next turned heads throughout the NFL.

McKinney Explodes: “They Don’t Call This Sh*t for Some Reason”

“First of all, it was offensive pass interference” McKinney said postgame, visibly frustrated.
“They don’t call this sh*t for some reason.”

The blunt, NSFW comment wasn’t censored on social media and fans went wild. The word choice may have been raw, but the message was clear. McKinney felt robbed and he wasn’t afraid to call it out publicly.

This wasn’t just emotion. It was a direct shot at what many players feel has become a league-wide officiating issue.

The Heart of the Defense

McKinney, a former Giants player, has quietly emerged as one of the Packers’ defensive leaders this season. With 64 tackles, 2 interceptions and 5 pass breakups, he’s a relentless ball hawk who brings fire to every snap.

After Green Bay traded for Micah Parsons before the season, their defense has grown into a serious challenge for opposing offenses. And McKinney is right at the center of it.

Offense Still a Question Mark

While the defense is stepping up, Green Bay’s offense remains inconsistent. Injuries to key players such as Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed and Josh Jacobs have slowed momentum and placed added pressure on the defense to carry the load.

But if the offense finds rhythm in the final stretch, the Packers could become one of the most dangerous underdogs in the NFC playoff picture.

Refs Under Fire Again

McKinney’s raw reaction highlights a bigger problem. Inconsistent penalty calls, especially regarding Offensive Pass Interference, continue to frustrate players, coaches and fans league-wide.

And when a respected veteran like McKinney uses the word “sh*t” on record, it signals that the frustration has reached a boiling point.

This Isn’t Over

The Packers are firmly back in the playoff conversation with a 6-3-1 record. But McKinney made one thing clear after Week 11.

He’s not just fighting receivers anymore. He’s fighting silence. And this time, he’s not holding anything back.
