FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Patriots players were shown multiple quotes from Miami Dolphins players on the screens inside their facility leading up to Sunday’s 41-13 victory over Miami, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning. The quotes were about the Dolphins’ 33-20 season-opening victory over New England, meant to serve as motivation to Patriots players this week.
Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis addressed the topic after Sunday’s game.
“There was a lot of talk … those guys were chirping. The Miami Dolphins were chirping this week about [how] they should have beaten us by 50 and all of those type of things the first game,” he said. “If that's what they want to do, then that's what they want to do. The one thing you have to understand is you get a second stab at it because we're in the same [division]. You might need to watch what you say.”
Added safety Devin McCourty, “We lost to them in Week 1 and they had a lot to say.”
