The heated exchange between Christian Barmore and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel stemmed from a “dirty” play from Jets right tackle Armand Membou.

Mike Vrabel was not only proud of his team’s dominant 42-10 win over the Jets on Sunday, but also the Patriots’ energy level in yet another road environment. “I think they came out ready to go,” Vrabel told WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” in his weekly Monday morning interview.

The New England Patriots and New York Jets got into a fight at the end of the first half of the Week 17 game on Sunday.

The rivalry between the New York Jets and New England Patriots remains one of the NFL’s most recognizable, despite it often not being very kind to New York.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was the only person who could stop quarterback Drake Maye during Sunday's game against the Jets.

Defensive tackle Christian Barmore took to social media Monday and responded to a video of Vrabel appearing to say "f--k 'em" while calling a timeout late in the first half of Sunday's 42-10 blowout win over the New York Jets: "Love my coach man," Barmore wrote.
