Following the Chicago Bears 28-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, head coach Matt Eberflus<\/a> and quarterback Justin Fields<\/a> took an interesting path in describing the latter\u2019s first of two fourth-quarter interceptions. Both men suggested that wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown<\/a> should have done more to come back to the ball or break up the interception.<\/p>\n

It appears as though, while Eberflus and Fields were correct in their assessment that the pick was on the pass catcher, the situation was much worse than they described.<\/p>\n

Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander<\/a>, who came away with the interception, has weighed in on, not only the interception itself but also on St. Brown, his former teammate in Green Bay for three seasons, as well as the Bears’ other pass catchers.<\/p>\n

His assessment has harshly honest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it was coming,\u201d Alexander said postgame, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. \u201cOne thing about the receiver that I got the pick on, you’re going to know when he’s about to breaking down his route. So I already knew it. I envisioned it. I was telepathic because I seen it before it happened.”<\/p>\n

Wait, is Alexander saying that St. Brown is tipping his route and\/or breaks?<\/p>\n

It sure sounds like that may be the case but the truth is much more damning of St. Brown and of the wide receiver position for the Bears as a whole.<\/p>\n

“He’s just not as quick as some,\u201d said the outspoken defensive back…He’s real slow. So it was just easy.”<\/p>\n

St. Brown was supposed to run a dig route but that was not what happened either. Still, St. Brown did get the best of Alexander on a 56-yard 50\/50 ball. Surely that garnered respect from Alexander.<\/p>\n
