Why did the suspension take place?
During the Packers’ matchup against the Panthers on Christmas Eve, Alexander nearly had to end the game before it started. Moreover, he played for a long time after his shoulder injury. In the matchup, he stood before the captains for a coin toss, even though he was not a captain. Adding fuel to the matter, he told the referee that the Packers wanted to go for a defensive match. The referee then clarified the point if he indicated “defer.“ Then Alexander agreed, putting an end to a disastrous situation. This has led to his suspension.
