Suspended Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito has expressed his delight at watching the team beat the New England Patriots 24-20 on Sunday.
Incognito has been suspended by the Dolphins since November 4 after it was alleged that he bullied teammate Jonathan Martin to such an extent that the offensive tackle was forced to leave the team.
However, the 30-year-old insists that he still feels part of the side and was ecstatic to see them beat the AFC East leaders to keep their playoff hopes alive.
"I love these guys. I talk to them every single day, so I feel like I'm out there with them in spirit. I talk to the coaches after the game, the players," Incognito is quoted as saying by ESPN.
"It was so much fun watching them win a big game Sunday against a very good division opponent that's owned the AFC East. I saw a team come together and play a complete football game and win a game in December when it matters with playoff implications."
The Dolphins moved to 8-6 with the victory, meaning that they can clinch a wildcard place in the playoffs if they win their remaining two matches.
