The Green Bay Packers faced a tough loss against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, with emerging quarterbacks Jordan Love and Tommy DeVito showcasing their skills in a closely contested match that ended 24-22.
In the aftermath, Coach Matt LaFleur addressed various aspects of the game, shedding light on the absence of star cornerback Jaire Alexander. LaFleur clarified that Alexander, known for his 18 solo tackles and four passes defensed this season, was intentionally kept out of the matchup against the Giants due to a shoulder-related recovery strategy.
Unlike the previous two away games where Alexander traveled with the team, the former Louisville Cardinal and 2018’s 18th overall pick remained sidelined for the game at MetLife Stadium. LaFleur explained, “Just felt like that was best for him in terms of trying to get his shoulder back, part of the recovery process.”
Despite Alexander’s absence, the Packers’ pass defense remains robust, conceding only 200.2 yards through the air. Looking ahead to their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Packers aim to build on their defensive strengths. In the previous week, the Buccaneers, now 6-7 and in a three-way tie for the NFC South lead, secured a 29-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
As the Packers currently hold the seventh spot in the NFC playoff picture, they are well-positioned for a postseason berth. With key players like Jaire Alexander strategically managing their recovery, the Packers aim to solidify their standing in the NFL’s second season.
