The Packers are an elite passing defense with Jaire Alexander on the field and a poor passing defense when he’s not in 2024.

Sam Darnold’s ability to pick apart Green Bay’s defense underscored one of the biggest challenges facing the Packers as they head into the playoffs. Injuries to the secondary have left the Packers vulnerable against quality passing attacks.

Alexander was also out for the Packers' first matchup against the Vikings earlier this season with a quad/groin injury. He's a player defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley would love to have when going up against the likes of wideouts Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison.
