Aaron Rodgers explained why he rejected coach Robert Saleh’s sideline embrace after the New York Jets took a 14-0 lead over the Patriots in the first half of Thursday night’s win.
All is well in the Meadowlands. Fans on social media sensed a bit of tension between New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Robert Saleh after the four-time league MVP appeared to reject his coach's embrace on the sideline in the first half of Thursday night’s win over the New England Patriots.
AARON RODGERS SHINES IN JETS' HOME OPENER BEATDOWN ON PATRIOTS 'Oh, awkward? No, it wasn’t awkward at all,' Rodgers said of the interaction with a laugh. 'He’s not a big hugger usually. So, I didn’t know he was going for the hug. He likes to do the two-hand chest push as well. But he talks a lot about two-score leads. So I kind of just gave him a push and said ‘two-score lead.’ That’s what happened.' The Jets shined against their AFC East rival on a short week.
