It’s do or die for the Packers against Minnesota on Sunday. Packers corner Jaire Alexander doesn’t believe that Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson will have a fabulous performance, as he did in the first leg.

The Green Bay Packers get serious again on Sunday. If the team around superstar Aaron Rodgers still wants to have a chance to make the playoffs, they have to win at home against division rival Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field.

The two teams have already met once this season. On the first day of play, the Packers suffered a 7:23 opening defeat. The match-winner then was Justin Jefferson. The Vikings receiver caught nine passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander doesn’t believe Jefferson can pull off such a feat again. “Let’s face it. He doesn’t just put on a supersuit and jump out,” the athlete is quoted as saying by “ESPN”. “I don’t either. He’s a human being, that’s what I’m saying. “

Packers star isn’t afraid of Jefferson

And continued, “He’s a really good receiver. But at the end of the day, I’m a really good corner. We have really good corners, we have really good linebackers, D-line, whatever it is. You don’t want to focus too much on that one person because the first game was a fluke. “

In addition, Alexander said he considers Jefferson one of the three best receivers in the NFL, but the best is ex-Packers teammate Davante Adams, who now suits up for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Justin Jefferson currently leads the NFL with 123 catches for 1,756 yards and is on track to break Calvin Johnson’s 2012 record (1,964 yards).

The Vikings receiver had already commented on the first leg against the Packers on Thursday, saying he was “surprised” at how open he was in the Week 1 game.

Adjusting their defensive game just to cover Jefferson more efficiently, by the way, is not something the Packers want to do. “Well, he’s going to get his touches,” head coach Matt LaFleur is sure.
