A minor scuffle broke out in the waning seconds of the Patriots’ 21-11 win over the Dolphins Sunday afternoon when it appeared at least one Miami player tried to rip Cam Newton’s gold chain off his neck.
The exchange began when former Patriot Kyle Van Noy gave the quarterback a slight push after he took the final kneel-down of the game. Then Elandon Roberts, another former Patriot, jawed in Newton’s face before the two had to be separated by teammates.
During the scuffle, it appeared that Dolphins defensive linemen Christian Wilkins and Raekwon Davis grabbed at Newton’s chain.
