Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander wasn’t named one of the team’s three captains for Sunday’s tilt against the Carolina Panthers, but he opted to join the captains for the game’s coin toss.
He very nearly made a costly mistake, too.
After he successfully won the coin toss for the Packers, Alexander told the referees that he wanted the Green Bay’s defense to come out onto the field, rather than saying the team wanted to defer.
