""It's definitely hard," Phillips said at his locker Wednesday. "That's something where it's disappointing as hell, and I'd do anything to have that back. But you can't do anything about the past, so the only thing that would be worse than that play itself is to let that linger and let that keep me from being present and getting better.""
""I unfortunately have been in those shoes before," said Weaver, a former defensive lineman in the league. "I remember one game when we were playing against Cleveland when I was playing, I missed a sack twice on the same play - brutal. Situationally for him, again it's an awful spot to be in as a player because you truly feel like you let all of your teammates down.""
Jaelan Phillips slipped while attempting a sack on Justin Herbert on second-and-10, allowing Herbert to dump a pass to Ladd McConkey for a 42-yard gain that paved the way for the Chargers' game-winning field goal. The play reversed the Dolphins' late lead and contributed to a 1-5 start. Phillips received intense messages on social media and removed the X app from his phone. He expressed strong disappointment but emphasized the need to stay present and improve. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver immediately consoled Phillips, relating from his own experience of missing sacks and empathizing with the emotional burden.
