Packers: Positives, negatives from Week 8 vs. Rams

The Packers came up just short against the undefeated Rams Sunday afternoon.

Here are some positives and negatives from the defeat:

Positive: Jaire Alexander

Jaire Alexander was an absolute stud on Sunday. Against one of, if not the slipperiest wide receivers in the NFL in Brandin Cooks, Alexander was connected to his hip all afternoon.

After missing the last two games due to injury, Alexander absolutely blanketed Cooks throughout the day. Even against some of the league’s fastest defensive backs, Cooks has been able to blow past them due to his unprecedented speed.
