When Rodgers returned to the sideline, he slapped hands with Saleh, who then moved in for a hug. Rodgers was in no mood for an embrace. He gave Saleh a gentle shove and glared at him as he walked away. The quarterback's body language seemed to be saying,"It's too early to be celebrating like that.""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.
"This was kind of the first step in playing like I know I'm capable of playing," Rodgers said."I felt like I was myself from five years ago." He was 6-for-6 for 88 yards when throwing outside the pocket -- his most completions outside the pocket without an incompletion over the last 15 years, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Rodgers, who didn't handle pressure well in the first two games, beat the New England Patriots with his quick release and ability to elude rushers.
