Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander has flown under the radar for a while amid a struggling Packers offense. The cornerback, however, was one of the loudest players on the team during the brutal beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. During a locker room interview, the cornerback called out Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless over comments they made about him:
Will Jaire Alexander put on another shutdown performance in Week 18?

Shannon Sharpe was asked to respond to the cornerback on “Undisputed.” Here’s what he said:
Aaron Rodgers and Jaire Alexander coast over Kirk Cousins in critical Week 17 battle
Heading into the weekend, most picked the Vikings to be the more difficult of the two remaining opponents that Green Bay needed to defeat to reach the postseason. However, the Vikings turned that idea on its head after sleepwalking through Sunday’s contest.
It was 27-3 at the half, and unlike what happened in the team’s comeback victory against the Colts, they stayed down in the second half. Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins’ days ended early as Nick Mullens and Jordan Love closed out the game. When the dust settled, the Packers won 41-17.
No. 12 didn’t have to do much in the game to win. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions.
Meanwhile, Cousins completed 18 of 31 passes for 205 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. The Packers will hope to face a similarly difficult opponent next week in the Detroit Lions.
