This is how Rodgers and Saleh explained awkward hug moment...
"Part of the things that we’ve been talking about is to just get the defense a two-score lead," Saleh told reporters, grinning.
"And it was a two-score lead, so I guess he just wanted to see something on defense. He just reminded me that we got a two-score lead.
"Oh, awkward? No, it wasn’t awkward at all," Rodgers said of the interaction with a laugh.
"He’s not a big hugger usually. So, I didn’t know he was going for the hug. He likes to do the two-hand chest push as well. But he talks a lot about two-score leads. So I kind of just gave him a push and said ‘two-score lead.’ That’s what happened."
