New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is known for having a prickly personality at times, and we saw that on display during Thursday Night Football after the former MVP quarterback scored a touchdown in the first half.
After putting the Jets up 14-0 over the New England Patriots in the second quarter, cameras caught Rodgers going to the sideline and having an interesting interaction with Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
Saleh tried to congratulate Rodgers, but the QB pushed back and appeared to have some blunt words back to his head coach. While it's hard to tell exactly what Rodgers said to Saleh, it seems pretty obvious that the exchange was not positive, as he walked away with a glare at his coach.

Rodgers has been great for the Jets to start the game, completing 12 of his first 14 passes for 135 yards and 1 touchdown, leading New York to a pair of touchdown drives and going up 14-3. We will see throughout the course of the game how he continues to play, and how his interactions with his head coach continue to evolve, or devolve, throughout the night.
