Green Bay Packers overcome 'mistake' during coin toss in win - ESPN

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jaire Alexander wasn't even supposed to be on the field for the coin toss when the Green Bay Packers cornerback crashed the captains meeting at midfield, almost costing his team a possession in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Alexander, who joined the Packers' three game captains Aaron Jones, Quay Walker and Eric Wilson at midfield, called tails and won the toss.

When referee Alex Kemp asked for his choice, Alexander said the Packers wanted to be on defense, which technically speaking is not the same as choosing to defer.

Had Kemp not clarified, it could have cost the Packers a possession, and the Panthers would have received to start both halves.
