Dolphins 20, Jaguars 17
CALAIS CAMPBELL: -- things happen. Life happens. Nobody is going to feel sorry for you. You just deal with it and you keep moving.
Q. What reason did police give you for putting you in handcuffs on the scene?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: Disobeying a direct order. He said I was too close to the scene. I think he said something about me not moving my car in time. I don't know.
He told me later I could stand 25 feet away, that's fine. I was definitely further than 25 feet away when that happened.
Q. Did they cite you?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: He told me I wasn't arrested, but he cited me for being detained, then released, so...
Q. Did you hear that the officer has been placed on administrative leave?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: I was just told that.
Q. Your reaction to that?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: Makes sense based on the situation. Very much the way it should go.
Q. Did you come out here with an extra fire? Sack in the first play.
CALAIS CAMPBELL: It had nothing to do with that situation (smiling). I told the guys yesterday that my goal was to set the tone, set the tone for the whole season. Being 38 years old, I don't know how much I got in the tank. I was just giving everything I had.
I knew early in the game I could make a difference. I had a good read. I was able to make a play, follow up with another play. It's a good feeling.
Definitely the questions you have when you go into a season, can I still dominate. It felt pretty good to be able to make some big plays to get the game going.
Still not my best ball. Definitely felt like week one. Something we can build off of. This team is resilient. For us to be able to go out there and win this ballgame the way everything happened, way it went, says everything about our preparation.
I think this one was definitely the way we prepared, the way we practiced all camp, lead up to this game.
Q. Can you just touch on the second half shutout by the defense? What was discussed at halftime to get you locked in?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: Yeah, Coach Weaver was just like, hey, let's play ball. All the plays they made, we know what it was. Like, nobody is just getting beat. We had a couple mistakes. Settle down and let's just play ball.
That's what we did. We settled down. So much talent, so many guys that can make plays. Just play our game, don't try to chase plays, make the ones that come to you. Made some big-time adjustments.
Guys made plays. I mean, Jevón Holland, forced that fumble. One of the biggest plays. You never know which play it's going to be. Whatever one it is, though, that was huge. I think that was the biggest difference in this game. But a lot of big plays by a lot of different guys.
The last drive with back-to-back sacks, huge. But this is a 60-minute ballgame for a reason. We played a really good 60 minutes.
Q. How happy are you for Jaelan Phillips?
CALAIS CAMPBELL: Yeah, he's special. He's special. For him to come back off a big injury like that, a lot of it is getting your confidence back, realizing that you're still that guy. I think he got out there the first couple drives, it was like, Okay, fill it out, fill it out. In the second half, he was on fire to close out the game. That's the guy we're going to need this whole season.
