Christian Barmore is on to Atlanta.
At least, that’s the message he relayed to reporters at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday when asked about his first-quarter benching during Sunday’s win over the Browns.
“It ain’t nothing. It ain’t nothing,” Barmore said when asked what led to the benching, per MassLive’s Mark Daniels. “We’re just focused on the Falcons. Focused on the Falcons.”
Barmore did not budge when asked if he had any additional comment about the situation.
“I’ve moved on. Next question,” Barmore said. “Let’s focus on the Falcons.”
The 26-year-old defensive tackle has been a mainstay on New England’s defense over the last few years, and has teamed up with the likes of Milton Williams and Khyiris Tonga to form a stout defensive line so far this season.
