The highly anticipated matchup between the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins took center stage last week, drawing widespread attention to see how superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill would perform against his former team.
In a surprising move before the previous season, the Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins due to disagreements over a new contract for the widely regarded best wide receiver in the league. Despite initial skepticism about the decision, both the Chiefs and Hill have fared well independently. Kansas City secured another Super Bowl title, while Hill seamlessly transitioned into a key target for Miami’s quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
However, Hill faced a challenging moment last week in Germany when his fumble resulted in a defensive touchdown for the Chiefs, ultimately proving to be the decisive factor in the game.
Even though the Dolphins scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, the damage had already been done, and Kansas City went on to win 21-14.
During his podcast this week, Hill blamed Dolphins teammate Cedrick Wilson for his fumble, despite admitting that he needed to hold onto the football, according to Dov Kleiman.
Hill tried to remain humble when discussing this play, but he couldn’t help but criticize his teammate for failing to build a block while catching a screen pass from Tagovailoa.
Even though he was technically correct about Wilson, he was also correct about the need for himself to keep onto the football in order to prevent the game-changing play.
