Dolphins CB Nik Needham expresses frustration over controversial call reversal
Sunday was frustrating for many Miami Dolphins fans, players, and coaches. But one player in particular felt the most frustration postgame.
When asked by reporters about his thoughts on the overturned DPI call on a 3rd and long play, Nik Needham did not mince words.
“Honestly, it’s just trash," Needham said. "Like, we had a chance to win the game, and so, that’s it…”
It’s not the fact there was evidence of defensive pass interference on the play. Replay does show Needham wrapping his arm around the receiver's shoulder pads. It was the manner in which the penalty was called.
