After the Jets went up 14-0 over the Patriots with a goal-line touchdown by Breece Hall, Saleh and Rodgers quickly shook hands on the sideline. As the head coach went in for the hug, Rodgers stoned him by putting his hands on his chest and seemed to sternly say something to him.

Shortly after Breece Hall plunged into the end zone to give New York a 14–0 lead in the second quarter, quarterback Aaron Rodgers went over to coach Robert Saleh, who prepared himself for a celebratory hug. Rodgers shoved him away and glared at Saleh as he strolled toward the bench.
