Aaron Rodgers and head coach Robert Saleh shared an interesting moment on the sideline after the Jets took a 14-0 lead on Thursday night in what became a 24-3 win.<br /><br />In a moment captured by the Prime Video broadcast of the Jets-Patriots matchup, Rodgers looked intensely at the Jets coach after dapping him up on the sideline.<br /><br />He then seemed to push off a hug from Saleh. <br /><br />Naturally, the moment was quickly clipped and posted online, with social media users jumping to try and decipher what the future Pro Football Hall-of-Fame QB said. <br /><br />But after the game, Rodgers cleared the air over the situation.<br /><br />“He’s not a big hugger, usually, so I didn’t know he was going for the huge,” he said of Saleh. “He likes to do the two-hand chest push as well. He talks a lot about two-score leads. So I just kind of gave him a push and said ‘Two-score lead.'”<br /><br />Saleh, in his press conference, reiterated the two-score lead discussion.<br /><br />Before the clarification came in, though, replies on X were wide-ranging.<br /><br />“This is a ‘damn straight’ look from Rodgers to his coach. Obvious these folks never played sports,” one person wrote. <br /><br />“I just saved your job buddy,” a person joked. <br /><br />“I think it’s a veteran QB holding his HC accountable by saying, this ain’t time to celebrate yet,” wrote another.<br /><br />The moment was a topic of conversation during the Prime Video halftime show, with ex-Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick weighing in. <br /><br />“I kind of chuckled at this, thinking [ex-Packers coach Mike] McCarthy is probably sitting in his office tonight watching, [Packers coach Matt] LaFleur is probably sitting in his office tonight laughing, thinking, ‘Hey we know this version of Aaron, too. Quite the competitor,’” Fitzpatrick said. <br /><br />Rodgers finished the game with 281 yards passing, two touchdowns, and a 118.9 passer rating.
