Things got heated between Christian Barmore and Mike Vrabel at the end of the first half of the Week 17 game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
With the Patriots crushing the Jets by a score of 35-3, things got a little chippy between the two teams at the end of the half.
Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore appears to have gotten into it with a Jets player after the second quarter was over.
After that, a heated exchange between Barmore and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel took place as Vrabel appeared to be trying to calm him down.
Here's video of the exchange.

It doesn't look like Vrabel had much success calming his player down.
And here's what led to Barmore getting into it with Jets tackle Armand Membou. The rookie clearly put a little extra into a block on the Patriots defensive lineman.

We'll see if Barmore's actions with Vrabel will get him benched.
The good news is, the Patriots don't need him, as New England is cruising to an easy victory over the Jets on Sunday.
