**East Rutherford, NJ** – The New York Jets’ 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday night was a successful outing for both the team and their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. However, a peculiar sideline moment between Rodgers and head coach Robert Saleh raised eyebrows.

The incident, which involved Saleh attempting a hug after the Jets took a 14-0 lead, was met with a playful push from Rodgers, who jokingly exclaimed, “Two-score lead!”

Following the game, both Rodgers and Saleh clarified the situation, explaining it was a lighthearted exchange stemming from the team’s emphasis on securing a two-score lead, a theme Saleh had been stressing all week. Rodgers, taking a playful jab at his coach, simply wanted to remind Saleh that they had achieved their goal.

“He’s just not a big hugger,” Rodgers said with a smile when asked about the moment.

The incident highlights a growing rapport between the two, who had a public exchange about Rodgers’ absence from mandatory minicamp during the summer.

The Jets’ win marks a positive start to the season, with Rodgers delivering his best performance since his final game with the Green Bay Packers in January. The team will now enjoy an extended break before hosting the Denver Broncos in Week 4.
