Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill might be a lot of things, but a poor sport isn't one of them.
Speaking to media members after the 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night, Hill opened up about his return to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. While it's clear from his demeanor that he'd hoped for a different outcome, he was frank about the experience and what it meant to return to Kansas City.
"It felt amazing, man," Hill said. "It's where it all started for me. So obviously, I felt some type of way, but being back on this field brought back so many types of memories. It was definitely fun to be a part of this game. The cold wasn't fun, but stepping back on this field and being on the other side of the ball and seeing how things are. I had fun."
Hill scored on a 62-yard touchdown reception against the Chiefs wide receiver Trent McDuffie. Those were the only points the Dolphins scored during the loss in Kansas City, which seems fitting that Hill got to experience another long touchdown in Arrowhead.
The crowd definitely got quiet when Hill's touchdown occurred, but the Chiefs' defense would quickly rebound. They held Hill and his teammates in check for the remainder of the game without fail.
"They did a good job of getting hands on us at the line of scrimmage," Hill explained.
"Spags (Coach Spagnuolo), he does a good job of telling his corners to not worry about anything over the top because they have safety help over the top, and DBs get hands on those fast guys. They do a great job of that. They got physical corners who do a good job of playing to their technique and playing sound. (L’Jarius) Sneed, (Trent) McDuffie, all of those guys do a great job over there. So shoutout to those guys."
The grass isn't always greener on the other side I suppose, though I'm not sure that applies to the frozen field at Arrowhead last night. Hill's return to Kansas City wasn't the victory he'd hoped for, but it brought back plenty of memories of the success he had with the Chiefs and where his career began.
