Kyle Van Noy and the Miami Dolphins were beaten by the New England Patriots in the first week of the season, and post-game New England behavior fueled the Dolphins in a major way.
Talking to Albert Breer on Monday morning QuarterbackDolphins linebacker Kyle Van Noy had some very clear words for New England and made it known that he believed the New England Patriots dynasty was over.
Van Noy was an essential part of the New England Patriots’ success while in the organization. After being part of the last two teams in the Super Bowl, he took on the role of a veteran defender and was a constant presence.
“They kind of scaffolded us for the first time,” Van Noy told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. “I will keep the reality. They thought everything was good … if that made sense. They all laughed and joked. We remembered this and we are in a different situation than they were. They have practically already been eliminated. We just needed to finish it, and we did it today.
“I think the honeymoon is over. I’ve finished the work. “
As the Dolphins seek to make their mark on the top of AFC East, a small New England motivation seems to have started a fire in Miami.
