There appears to be drama brewing in New York between Aaron Rodgers and Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
On Thursday night, Rodgers and the Jets offensive appeared to click vs the Patriots in the first half after taking a quick 14-0 lead.
After a touchdown, an excited Saleh tried to celebrate with Rodgers, but the quarterback appeared unhappy with his coach and pushed him away.

While it’s unclear what Rodgers told Saleh, fans believe the Jets QB is fed up with his coach.
“Rodgers, let the dude be happy for a second, he watched Zach Wilson for three years.” commented one fan.
“Rodgers seems like a miserable person to be around” said another fan.
