The Dolphins are riding high after two straight wins and a matchup with the AFC East-leading Patriots on Thursday. Chris McCain, a backup linebacker, may be the most excited after changing his Twitter avatar to an edited picture of him squeezing Tom Brady’s head.
McCain said the picture, with #CrushBrady, was created by a fan “a year ago.”

Patriots fans on Twitter were quick to pounce on McCain, noting the second-year player out of Cal has been inactive much of the season and has just one career sack. However, McCain let everyone know that lone sack was on Brady in a 33-20 Miami win last season. He also blocked a punt in that game.
You guys really mad I put a Avi up of me crushing Brady lol. My bad would this help? pic.twitter.com/AtdkCEZO5u

My first child was born today. It's been a good tiring day. #successful healthy baby.
