During the Jets’ dominant 24-3 victory over the Patriots on Thursday night, a brief sideline exchange between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Robert Saleh sparked social media frenzy.

A video clip from the Amazon broadcast showed Saleh attempting to embrace Rodgers after a touchdown drive. Rodgers, however, appeared to decline the hug and muttered something that made Saleh step back.

Internet sleuths immediately jumped on the clip, speculating about a possible rift between the two. However, Rodgers addressed the incident after the game, assuring reporters that there was no bad blood.

“I’m not a big hugger usually,” Rodgers said. “I didn’t know he was going for a hug. 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.’ That’s what happened.”

Saleh corroborated Rodgers’ explanation, dismissing the incident as nothing more than a playful exchange.

The Jets are currently riding high after their impressive victory, and will now enjoy an extended break before their next game on September 29th. The sideline moment, while briefly raising eyebrows, appears to be just a harmless misunderstanding between a quarterback and his coach.
