Overview
- On the final play of the first half, Christian Barmore said Jets right tackle Armand Membou landed on his back after the whistle, which he called a dirty play.
- Cameras captured a tense exchange as Mike Vrabel and staff held Barmore back heading to the locker room, and the situation did not escalate into a broader fight.
- Vrabel said his message was to keep composure and avoid giving away yards, crediting players and officials for preventing anything after the whistle.
- Reporter Mike Garafolo noted Membou ripped off his helmet and needed to be calmed by staff as he left the field.
- Video reviews showed no flag on the play, Membou declined to detail the incident postgame, and Barmore later posted support for Vrabel after the Patriots’ 42-10 win.
