Dolphins head coach Adam Gase was an assistant coach with the Broncos from 2009-2014 and has history with the franchise. Broncos CB Chris Harris thinks there is some bad blood which led Gase to seemingly try and run up the score.
Chris Harris Jr. on the decision by Adam Gase to kick the onside kick: "He's trying to embarrass us." Says there's clearly some "bad blood" still there, going up against his former team. #9Sports #WeAreBroncos

Broncos head coach Vance Joseph was also upset and said that he could do similar things if that’s the way Gase wanted to handle things.
"Oh you're going to on-side kick up 33-9? Well I'll call a couple of timeouts so you can sack our quarterback again."
