BALTIMORE – Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, now a member of the Baltimore Ravens, has sparked debate across fanbases after publicly praising his old team’s impressive 35–25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. The Packers’ dominant performance — led by Jordan Love’s 360 passing yards and three touchdowns — caught the attention of many around the league, including one of their former defensive stars.
When asked about Green Bay’s recent surge, Alexander spoke with respect and admiration rather than rivalry. “I don’t regret joining the Ravens — but if I’m being real, maybe I left a year too early,” he said. “The Packers look like a team on the rise again. You can see the confidence, the chemistry, the hunger. They’re sharper, more locked in, and they’re playing with heart — that’s what winning football looks like.”
His candid remarks quickly spread through social media, dividing opinions. Ravens fans expressed frustration, calling the comments “poor timing” amid their own playoff push, while Packers fans flooded the replies with appreciation. One Green Bay supporter wrote, “Once a Packer, always a Packer. He knows greatness when he sees it.”
Inside Green Bay’s locker room, Alexander’s words were reportedly received as a compliment. Several players acknowledged the mutual respect between him and the team he once led on defense. Under head coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers have quietly evolved into one of the NFC’s most balanced squads — and Alexander’s praise only reinforces that shift. Whether or not he intended it, the former All-Pro’s reflection feels like a reminder of what’s brewing back in Wisconsin — a team that looks hungrier, sharper, and ready to chase another Lombardi.
