Dolphins' Tyreek Hill Blasts 'Nasty' Patriots Fans: 'Worst in NFL!'
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill didn't hesitate to rub it in after his team's 24-17 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night.
After the game, Hill reveled in the win by waving goodbye to the New England faithful as he walked off the field. The star receiver didn't stop there, though, as he lobbed a stinging insult at Patriots fans.
"It felt tremendous," Hill said, per ESPN. "Those fans are some of the worst fans in the NFL. And I'm going to stand on that. They are real nasty. Some of the things they were saying, I wouldn't say in church. So yeah, it felt great to wave goodbye to the fans, and I'll do it again. Bye."
Hill has a bit of history with Patriots fans dating back well before Sunday's game. In 2018, when Hill was still with the Kansas City Chiefs, a Patriots fan threw a beer at the receiver after he scored a 75-yard touchdown late in the game. The fan was then charged with disorderly conduct and banned from Gillette Stadium.
Despite his negative feelings towards the Patriots and their fans, Hill still gave credit where it's due. Rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez held Hill to one reception for eight yards on four targets as the nearest defender, with Hill saying Gonzalez will be a "real good player in this league." Additionally, Hill always appreciates going against the defensive mastermind known as Bill Belichick.
"It always feels good to beat probably one of the greatest coaches of all time," Hill said. "To come in here in a tough environment, to win a game like this on a Sunday night, it feels good. Especially the way this team played, the way this team battled through adversity."
After going off for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, Hill had a much quieter game against the Patriots. The three-time All-Pro had just five catches for 40 yards, although he still found the end zone.
