Jaire Alexander on Packers’ recent turn of fortune: ‘I’m not going to call myself a prophet, but I called it’

One of the Packers' cornerbacks believes in "I told you so's."

Green Bay has turned its season around since the beginning of November, winning four of five to storm back into playoff contention -- something cornerback Jaire Alexander foresaw coming.

"I'm not going to call myself a prophet, but I called it," he told reporters in the team locker room on Friday. "I said we was gonna win out. … So I'm not a prophet, but the people should start listening to me more."

The CB called his shot back on Nov. 1, when Green Bay had 10 games remaining in a 2-5 season that was quickly spiraling.

They did emerge from their next contest victorious and currently own a three-game winning streak, but as a media member pointed out, the Packers have lost since -- a Week 10 23-19 defeat to the Steelers.

"Well, you know, I think four out of five, I think I'm 80 percent right now," Alexander conceded. "I think I'm alright."

Nonetheless, his confidence is indicative of the performances the Packers have been stringing together to go from three game below .500 to 6-6 and in the driver's seat for a postseason berth -- with their five remaining games coming against teams with a combined 20-40 record.

The young offense seems to be turning a corner thanks to fewer mental gaffes and a more poised Jordan Love resulting in a winning operation.

Green Bay has exceeded 20 points in three consecutive games after failing to do so in seven straight contests before that, and Love has posted a 67.5 completion percentage or better in four of his last five outings after falling under 60 in five of his first seven starts this season.

It hasn't been perfect, but it's been
