“Pack is back!”
Those words were bellowed by Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander following the Packers’ 26-20 win over the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Day.
Alexander, drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, was one of three players to intercept Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. He did so in the fourth quarter. Following the game, Alexander was animated when talking to Fox sideline reporter Pam Oliver.

“So, I’m just lining up, I see number ten motion over, coming across the field, I said, ‘Oh snap, he fast,’ so I backed off,” Alexander said. “When I backed off, I seen him coming. He ran right in front of me, I was like, ‘Wow, is he really overthrowing it?' Took it down the sidelines, turnt up with my guys, gave the football to a little kid wearing 23."

The interception was the 25-year-old’s fifth of the season.
With the win, the Packers are now 7-8 on the season. It comes after a loss to the Eagles that initially held them at 4-8. Winning their third-straight game, the Packers need to run the table to improve to 9-8.
If they can beat the Vikings and the Lions, a comeback is possible. Expect more promos by Alexander if that is the case.
