I think one of the first meetings that I was in here, we had a conversation about the Niners beating us, so I understand how important it is. \u2026<\/p>\n<p id=\"R5LT6TIHWJBNHOP5OAHP7L54O4\">\u201cI definitely think it hurt the people that were here. I think any time you lose a big-time game like that and the way it was lost, obviously, you\u2019re going to be feeling a certain type of way, so, yeah, I do get that sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"RBSVWMHMYVC5HNT3W7UJQAZ72M\">McKinney joined the Packers in the offseason as an NFL free agent after four seasons with the New York Giants. The former Alabama standout will be in Green Bay\u2019s defensive backfield when the Packers take on the 49ers again at 3:25 p.m. CST Sunday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>NFL teams add 3 players with Alabama football roots for Sunday\u2019s games<\/li>\n<li>NFL fines Detroit Lions receiver $19,697 for obscene gesture<\/li>\n<li>Baltimore Ravens cut former All-Pro safety from Alabama<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p id=\"5YIFUGHFOJENHGNPG3OCF3TELM\">McKinney has played every defensive snap for the Packers and has six of the team\u2019s nine interceptions to help Green Bay to a 7-3 record this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"S7RIZVRUMVFGTN6CBXOGYNJZVY\">At 5-5, San Francisco already has as many regular-season losses as it had during the 2023 season. The 2024 losses have come by a combined 23 points.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3SBMKAIXKZD4BLFGG4SLGTXJOU\">\u201cObviously, they\u2019re a team that\u2019s played in big games,\u201d McKinney said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a lot of big-time players on their team, and they know how to play ball, so, obviously, there\u2019s always a lot of different factors that go into seasons and different things that can happen during the season. But they\u2019re still a very good football team. They\u2019re still a dangerous football team. Not only do we know that, I think everybody else around the league knows that. \u2026<\/p>\n<p id=\"LLMEDJBYEJEJPNWLJJLU46OIAM\">\u201cThey ain\u2019t going to back down for nothing or nobody. I think they go out there and show that. They have a certain mentality that they play with. They got a certain group of guys that they\u2019re not just going to lay down. I don\u2019t think they have those type of guys that do those things. They play hard regardless of what their record is and regardless of what\u2019s going on. You can see how they play. We understand that, and we got to go out there with the right mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"VOFVWBWIWRGI3ADBXHL3EO3I2A\"><b>FOR MORE OF AL.COM\u2019S COVERAGE OF THE NFL, GO TO OUR <\/b>NFL PAGE<\/p>\n<p id=\"BUJFC5N3YRBUTCIHUHA2O2GXEQ\"><i>Mark Inabinett is a sports reporter for Alabama Media Group.
