In perhaps his finest performance in years, Rodgers passed for 281 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-3 victory Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, making several off-platform plays on the move and outside the pocket.
Afterward, both men tried to make light of it. 'He's not a big hugger usually, so I didn't know he was going for the hug,' Rodgers said with a smile. 'He likes to do the two-hand chest push as well. He talks a lot about two-score leads. So I kind of gave him a push and said, 'Two-score lead.''
Saleh said they had talked before the game about the importance of giving the defense a two-score lead. Once that happened, Saleh apparently wanted to have a bro-hug with his franchise quarterback, who apparently had other ideas.
Rodgers' body language seemed to be saying, 'It's too early to be celebrating like that.' They laughed it off, which is easier to do after a win -- the second straight for the Jets (2-1).
