The New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins have always shared a sense of rivalry owing to the fact that they belong to the same division. Over the past two decades with Head Coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots have dominated the division.

But the franchise had an uncharacteristically poor season in 2020. Finishing behind the likes of the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the AFC East, the team failed to make the playoffs.

However, when it comes to head-to-head bragging rights, the Patriots and Dolphins shared a win apiece. But during the two sides’ first meeting in 2020, things got a little bit heated.

Once the game finished 21-11 in favor of the Patriots, a scuffle broke out between some of the players including Patriots QB Cam Newton and then Dolphins linebacker Kyle Van Noy.

Van Noy who was earlier a Patriots player had joined the Miami Dolphins for one season in 2020. Now back with the New England Patriots, Van Noy is looking to leave all hard feelings in the past.

“I feel like me and Cam have similar mindsets and that’s to win. I’m excited to work with him. I’ve heard nothing but good things. I think everybody is going to be excited after hopefully we have dinner — I’ll pay for it — and just get to know each other better,” he said.

“I think it’s a good rivalry. Everybody knows everybody. People have played on both sides. So it’s going to be good,” he added.

When questioned further about the trash-talking, Van Noy said it’s all just a part of gridiron football.

“I mean, it’s part of football… I think everybody blows it out of proportion when there’s trash-talking in football. It’s part of the game. Some players are better than others.

Some have terrible jokes, some have good ones. Some can get under skin, some can’t… I don’t think anyone takes it personal. If they do, that’s their deal,” Van Noy added.
