Footage shows the Minnesota Vikings linebacker making a gesture towards Aaron Rodgers in their Week 6 matchup, but only after the quarterback started cursing at Barr.

The results of their Week 6 face off with the Green Bay Packers was more than just a normal victory for the Minnesota Vikings. During the game, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers also sustained a potential season-ending broken collarbone after a hit by Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr.

Minnesota fans with an actual understanding of human decency were not specifically happy that Rodgers suffered a painful injury, but more about what the quarterback’s injury means for the Vikings’ chances to win the NFC North this season.

With Rodgers now out for a significant amount of time, if not the remainder of the year, Minnesota probably does not have to worry about Green Bay fighting for first place in the division for the rest of the season.

But back to the injury. On Thursday, Rodgers made an appearance on Conan and spoke about the exchange he and Barr had while the quarterback was being helped off the field after his injury.

"“The cameras caught me saying something to him. But what they missed was him, (giving me the) finger, (and) suck it sign.”"

Since Rodgers’ recent comments, a clip has popped up of Barr actually grabbing his junk in the direction of the quarterback as he walked to the sideline (Barr is in the top left).

So the Packers quarterback accused the Vikings linebacker of making a lewd gesture towards him, but conveniently failed to mention that this only happened after Rodgers hurled a bunch of insults at Barr first.

Other camera angles of the exchange show actual proof that Barr’s Michael Jackson impersonation occurred after the quarterback began cursing him out.

So in the clip below, pay attention to the gray-haired gentleman in the green coat with a towel over his left arm.

Watch as he is walking by Green Bay wide receiver Randall Cobb, the man puts his right hand over on his left forearm for a brief moment. At this time, Rodgers is still yelling over at Barr.

Now in the clip that was shown before of Barr’s gesture, it shows the same man in the green coat putting his right hand on his forearm and walking by Cobb before the Minnesota linebacker starts his own personal game of charades.

So it’s pretty clear that what Barr did was just a reaction to whatever Rodgers was saying to him. But of course, the Packers’ quarterback doesn’t want to mention that and make it seem like he was a golden boy in this entire exchange.

If the video clips still don’t cause people to believe this to be the case of what went down, perhaps Barr’s version of the exchange will.
