Alexander would get the last laugh, but undercutting St. Brown for the game-sealing interception but Alexander was still pissed about giving up that catch to St. Brown, telling reporters that he wasn’t worried about covering that “scrub.”

“Nothing. Man, he a scrub. I can’t believe I let him catch that on me. But hat’s off to him because he did make a good catch,” Alexander said, via The Athletics Matt Schneidman.

Jaire Alexander on what he thought after giving up that 56-yard catch to former teammate Equanimeous St. Brown:

24 hours later, St. Brown stated that Jaire Alexander has apologized for his comments.

Via The Chicago Tribunes Colleen Kane:

Bears WR Equanimeous St. Brown said Packers CB Jaire Alexander texted him to apologize for his postgame comments, which included calling St. Brown "a scrub." "It was probably heat of the moment for him," St. Brown said. "I don’t take anything personal. It is what it is."

There appears to be no bad blood between Alexander and St. Brown, with the veteran cornerback reaching out to the wide receiver. These two teams are done playing each other this year, but those words could come back up in 2023.

The victory in Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak and improved the Packers’ record to 5-8 through 13 games. They kept their very slim playoff hopes alive.
