"You all need to see the tape, what that o-lineman did, No. 70. You should all see what he did. The play was already over, blown whistle, I'm about to get up, no 70, I don't know his name, he literally dove on my back. Like, he put his whole body weight (on me) doing some dirty stuff. So I got up and was about to (fight), and my coach came out and calmed me down."
"There was a lot of good football played and plenty to be excited about throughout the afternoon, but a noticeably upset Christian Barmore right before halftime caught the attention of all Patriots fans, especially after having what appeared to be a frustrating conversation with Mike Vrabel. Many believed it was a sign that something was going on between the defensive tackle and head coach, which would have been a disappointing development, but Barmore cleared things up with an explanation after the game."
The Patriots dominated the Jets across all phases for a 42-10 victory and reclaimed the AFC East after the Bills' later loss. Christian Barmore appeared visibly upset on the sideline before halftime after a blown-play confrontation and a brief exchange with head coach Mike Vrabel. Barmore said Jets offensive tackle Armand Membou, No. 70, dove onto his back after the whistle and put his full body weight on him, describing the action as dirty. Barmore said he was prepared to respond before coaches intervened and later provided a passionate first-hand account to reporters.
