Aaron Rodgers waves away awkward moment with Robert Saleh

After the Jets scored their second touchdown of the night against the Patriots, quarterback Aaron Rodgers approached coach Robert Saleh. What happened next went viral.

Although it was a far cry from the Kirk Cousins/Mike Zimmer push and pull and hold me downmany (#many) tried to read something into it, literally or humorously, or a combination of both.

In short, Saleh went for a hug and Rodgers opted for a two-handed push to the chest. The interaction was capped by a sideways glance from Rodgers that carried a whiff of stench.

Rodgers was asked about the “awkward” moment after the 24-3 victory.

“No, it’s not uncomfortable at all“, Rodgers told reporters. “He’s not normally a big hugger. So I didn’t know he was going for the hug. He also likes to do the two-handed chest push. But he talks a lot about a two-point lead. So I gave him a little push and said, ‘Two-point lead.'”

Still, Rodgers gave Saleh a look at the back that seemed to contain a message. Perhaps it was as simple as, “Let’s not pop the champagne yet, Bob.”

In summary, the push/hug was nothing. The goodbye look might have been something.
