Christian Barmore, Mike Vrabel Exchange Words After Jets-Patriots Halftime Scuffle

Barmore later attributed his outburst to a late hit by Jets rookie Armand Membou.

Overview

  • Broadcast and social media video showed Vrabel engaging a visibly upset Barmore as players headed to the locker room at halftime.
  • After the game, Barmore said Membou landed his body on Barmore’s back after the whistle and called the move “dirty.”
  • Barmore credited Vrabel with helping him calm down, and Vrabel said he reminded players to keep their composure and avoid giving away yards.
  • Reports identified Membou as the Jets player involved and noted cornerback Carlton Davis III stepped in, with no immediate discipline announced.
  • New England beat New York 42-10 behind Drake Maye’s 19-of-21 passing for 256 yards and five touchdowns, moving to 13-3 with the No. 1 AFC seed still in play.
