Former Auburn star Cam Newton had a solid debut for the New England Patriots in a 21-11 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. However, things got hectic immediately after the game when Newton got into a bit of a scuffle with some of the Dolphins.

Newton and several of the Dolphins were seen trash-talking and going nose-to-nose as the two teams gathered on the field to shake hands.

It also appeared that Newton reached for his hamstring as he walked towards the sidelines.

He was holding his leg too, it looked like 55 on the dolphins intentionally jammed his knee in to cams hamstring while they were in the pile that 55 got a penalty for. I assume that's why he's mad.

From watching the game the guy that punched at Cam also kicked him while he was on the ground in his hamstring area.

Cam wanted to retaliate. He put in work to get healthy and to start this year. Some player intentionally hurting you while on the ground is a hoe move https://t.co/3dzodqkTBc

Cam is hurt, he was reaching for his hamstring and limping while being held back on the sideline. Hopefully minor.

However, when Newton was asked about the injury, he smiled and said he was good.

Cam Newton on his health: "I'm great. Everything is good."

Cam Newton to @TheGregHillShow on his hamstring: "I don't know where that came from. I didn't have no hamstring problems. We won, so that means I'm not hurt no more."

Newton had 75 yards rushing on 15 carries, and was 15-for-19 passing for 155 yards, as he paired with another touchdown from former Georgia star Sony Michel in the win.
