Dolphins respond to Cam Newton's call-out after Patriots' Week 1 win

Things got heated between Cam Newton and the Miami Dolphins after the New England Patriots' 21-11 Week 1 victory at Gillette Stadium. 

Newton, who was stellar in his Patriots debut, needed to be restrained by his teammates after he had words with a few Dolphins players. The former MVP quarterback revealed after the game that his anger stemmed from Miami players allegedly reaching for his chains. 

The 31-year-old referenced the incident in his Instagram post late Sunday night, and it didn't sit well with a few Miami players whom Newton called out. 

Shaq Lawson, who spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, commented "We don’t won’t that weak a-- chain."

Similarly, rookie defensive tackle Raekwon Davis commented “Man ain’t nobody want your fake a-- chains s--t was weak anyway.”

Newton was arguably the best player on the field during Sunday's game, completing 15-of-19 passes for 155 yards while adding 75 yards and two touchdowns rushing. 

The Patriots and Dolphins will have to wait until later in the season for a rematch. The AFC East division rivals aren't set to meet again until Dec. 20 at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 15.
