It’s great that Packers defensive back Jair Alexander believes in himself, but giving Justin Jefferson billboard material to Vikings WR is a bold strategy.
If we know anything about Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, it’s that he’s using this bulletin board material against the offender.
The Packers take on Minnesota this weekend with a lot on the line. For the Vikings, they’re still alive for the top seed in the NFC. They just need some help from the Saints and Giants, which the Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) will play in the next couple of weeks.
Green Bay plays for their playoff lives. Here’s what needs to happen for Green Bay to make the playoffs:
- The Green Bay Packers need to win
- The Washington Chiefs must lose one of the last two games or the New York Giants must lose
Simply.
Packers vs Vikings: Jair Alexander calls out Justin Jefferson
Jair Alexander said that Justin Jefferson is one of the best wide receivers in the league, but also suggested that his performance in Week 1 against the Packers—in which he had nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns—was a fluke because it happened in the first game of the year. .
Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in football this year. Odds are he’ll hear these comments and take them personally. The Vikings star has a chance to come out and take out a top-tier contender? This looks like pretty justice from where I’m sitting.
Jefferson stepped up to defend quarterback Kirk Cousins on social media earlier Thursday, so you know he’s listening to the pundits.
He’s right about Cousins, who has taken some steps forward this season.
for every Pro Football reference, Cousins has six game-win/return returns in the fourth quarter this season. That’s more than his career in one season.
It’s safe to say that both Cousins and Jefferson have something to play for on an individual level this Sunday.
