The Miami Dolphins-New England Patriots rivalry is still alive and well even after Tom Brady left the Pats this past offseason.
After Sunday’s game, Pats QB Cam Newton got into a heated altercation with several Dolphins players which led to defensive tackle Christian Wilkins trying to rip the chain off Cam’s neck.

Newton addressed the chain-snatching incident while speaking to the media after the game.

“I still got my chain, I got two of them,”. “They were reaching for my chain, though. They were reaching for my chain. And I think that kind of got up under my skin. But yeah, man, through it all, listen – I do not want nothing taken away from a great team game that we did have. And I don’t want to be selfish to focus or kind of dwell on that.”
Newton, on WEEI: From where I'm from, that's a disrespect…Good thing I went to a good jeweler and got the credentials. They didn't do too much damage… It's a chain that has all my children and their birthstone.

Newton then took a shot at the Dolphins with an Instagram post captioned “tried to snatch my chain and the game, too bad I got both.”
Dolphins players Shaq Lawson and Raekwon Davis both fired back at Cam on IG over his post.
The week 15 game between the Dolphins and Patriots just got a little more interesting.
