DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace cleared the air Monday on the controversy over his comments following Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

Despite the win, Wallace was upset after getting one reception for 15 yards, a reaction that made local and national headlines. Wallace explained on Monday that he was personally upset and didn't mean to cause a stir with the team.

"I'm mad at myself just because I didn't have a good game," Wallace said in the locker room. "That's all."

Wallace was asked to clarify comments he made to reporters Sunday. In terse comments he had said to ask the coaching staff why he didn't get many opportunities against Cleveland.

"I was upset with myself," he said. "It wasn't really anything else to do with anything. I would've told you the same thing regardless. If you ask me about the plays, I don't really have the answer. That's all I meant by that."

Wallace signed a $60 million contract with Miami during free agency and wanted to make a splash in the opener. That likely led to his postgame frustration.

Wallace confirmed that he talked with Dolphins coach Joe Philbin on Monday about the situation and said they've smoothed things over.
