The Green Bay Packers are currently leading the Minnesota Vikings 27-3 at halftime. One of the main reasons for that has been Jaire Alexander and the Packers defense locking down Pro Bowl wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Jefferson, who leads the NFL with 123 receptions, 1,756 receiving yards, and 117.1 yards per game, did not record a catch in the first half against the Packers. It is the first time this season that a defense has held him catch-less in a half.

It has not been for a lack of trying, though. So far, Jefferson has been targeted three times in the game. Jaire Alexander, though, has been all over him and even did a little dance in his face after breaking up a pass.
