Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace was benched in the second half of Sunday's loss against the New York Jets, but the most bizarre thing happened after the game.

Wallace, standing next to locker, had his teammate, wide receiver Brandon Gibson, field questions from reporters.

One NFL Media report suggests Wallace was sidelined after he told head coach Joe Philbin he no longer wanted to play in the game. The video above indicates that there could be some validity to that report.
