Christian Barmore blasts Jets player for ‘dirty’ play that led to heated exchange

Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore was fired up as he and his teammates made their way off the field at MetLife Stadium during halftime.

New England held a commanding 35-3 at the break against the Jets en route to an eventual 42-10 blowout win on Sunday afternoon. But Barmore was still left steaming after a skirmish with Jets right tackle Armand Membou on the final play of the second quarter.

Barmore had to be held back by Mike Vrabel and several other Patriots players/staffers to keep the 6-foot-5, 315-pound defensive lineman from going after Membou — with New England’s head coach attempting to keep Barmore calm and moving toward the locker room as both teams separated.
