Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems to have little tolerance for his teammates and coaching staff this season. The 38 year old quarterback has been critical of his offensive teammates and has been known in the past to criticize head coach Matt LaFleur's play calling.
On Sunday, during an overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys, Rodgers appeared to disagree once again with LaFleur. After a failed third-down conversion attempt, the quarterback walked off the field towards LaFleur. He appeared to be yelling at his head coach about the type of play that was unsuccessful on third down.

NFL fans were quick to notice as the FOX cameras caught the exchange between the two. Fans on Twitter did not let the altercation go unnoticed either. With some referring to the quarterback as a "Karen," an insult thrown at someone who expects things to go a certain way.
Others were quick to say that if any other quarterback yelled at their head coach in this manner that it would make headlines. But for the Packers quarterback, it has just been something he is known for. In this case, the quarterback obviously wanted to run the ball to get the first down, whereas a pass play was called.
The reigning NFL MVP and the Packers were able to bounce back and secure an overtime win. Here are some of the comments online:
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers break five game losing streak in OT win over Cowboys
The Green Bay Packers had lost five straight games, having not won since their overtime win over the New England Patriots in early October. On Sunday afternoon, Rodgers led the Packers to a come-from-behind win over the Dallas Cowboys, who are currently one of the best teams in the NFC.
Rodgers, who has been critical of his young wide receivers, found rookie Christian Watson for three touchdowns during regulation. Watson finished the game with over 100 yards receiving, a breakout game for the rookie out of North Dakota State.
The overtime win now breaks the losing skid the Green Bay Packers were on and brings them to 4-6 on the season. The Minnesota Vikings currently have a strong hold on the NFC North division with a 8-1 record, four games above the second-place Packers.
Green Bay will now prepare to face the Tennessee Titans, who are 6-3 and coming off their own come-from-behind win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
