The Green Bay Packers and the Houston Texans were squaring off against each other on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Before the game kicked off, Stefon Diggs of the Houston Texans, Jaire Alexander of the Green Bay Packers, and other players got involved in some chirping.
Diggs has been known for opening his mouth up in the past with the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings. Stefon Diggs only caught five passes for 23 yards receiving against the Packers’ defense.

When it was all over, the Packers got the last laugh on Diggs and the Texans when they won 24-22 on a game-winning 45-yard field goal by Brandon McManus. Jaire Alexander was also up to the challenge of covering Stefon Diggs on the football field as well.
Xavier McKinney Talks About the Beef Between Jaire Alexander and Stefon Diggs
After the game, Jaire Alexander did not speak to the media about what happened between him and Diggs, but safety Xavier McKinney stuck up for his teammate. He told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic:
“I’m with 2-3 every time. I’m with my guys and we gon’ ride together and that’s just what it is. So if he don’t like him, then I don’t like him. That’s what it is.”
This is good that McKinney is sticking up for his teammates. It will be interesting to see how the Packers’ defense plays next weekend against the 2-5 Jacksonville Jaguars.
