The Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander almost cost his team a possession in their win against the Carolina Panthers when he made a mistake during the coin toss. Alexander called tails and won the toss, but when asked for his choice, he said the Packers wanted to be on defense, which could have been interpreted as choosing to kickoff. Luckily, the referee clarified and the Packers were able to choose to defer. Head coach Matt LaFleur was not pleased with Alexander's mistake and emphasized the importance of reviewing the coin toss procedure with the players before the game. Despite the mistake, the Packers were able to overcome it and secure the win.
