While the New England Patriots organization and fanbase were clearly upset over the loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, there was one comment made that had fans truly up in arms. 

In the locker room following the game, Hill spoke with the media and didn't shy away from talking about the fanbase in New England. 

"Those fans are some of the worst fans in the NFL, and I'm going to stand on that," Hill said. "They're real nasty and some of the things that they were saying, I wouldn't say in Church."

And after the win, he made sure to give special attention to the fans. 

"It felt great to wave goodbye to the fans and I'd do it again," Hill said. "Bye." 

With the comments still being talked about days later, the Dolphins receiver went on his podcast "It Needed To Be Said," and addressed the statement. And it's clear his opinion hasn't changed.   

"A lot of people are talking about my comments about what I said about New England Patriots having the worst fanbase," Hill said. "Um, yes I will say that."

"People are still DMing to this day saying racial stuff which is crazy," Hill added. "You guys lost so take your L. And we all know that New England Patriots has ran football for decades now. I totally understand that. I understand it, I respect it, but at the end of the day you just got to realize that times changed."

And he showed his complete confidence in Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, saying that he is going to "take over the AFC East." 

"It's time for a new team to win," Hill said. "It gets old seeing the same team win." 

While I'm sure Patriots fans don't agree that the six Super Bowl championships ever got old, it is clear that things have changed in the AFC East and it is no longer New England on top. 

"Not all bad apples are bad apples. You just got a few people that obviously, they felt some kind of way about my comments. And everybody's entitled to their opinions, just like you're entitled to your opinion, but just leave the racial slurs out of it. I just feel like there is no need for that."

While there is always trash-talking in football, Hill is completely right when saying what fans should not be brining into this. 

Hill has had issues with Patriots fans in the past after someone in the stands threw a beer on the wide receiver after he scored a 75-yard touchdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. That fan was charged with disorderly conduct. 

However, it's clear that along with the comments he made after the game, he also likes the prove himself on the field. In the win Hill had five receptions for 40 yards including scoring a touchdown.
