Tyreek Hill mocks Tua Tagovailoa with 3 words after poor reception count vs Patriots
The Miami Dolphins crushed the New England Patriots 34-15 in a game that had some unexpected offensive dynamics. Tyreek Hill's social media jab became the talk of NFL fans after his performance where he took a backseat to his teammates.
On Monday, Hill reshared a 'Distracted Boyfriend' meme on X.
"My exact thoughts."
The numbers tell the story. Hill recorded just five receptions on six targets for 48 yards—marking his ninth game this season under 15 PPR points. This came in a matchup where Tagovailoa went wild, completing 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns.
Jaylen Waddle dominated, grabbing eight receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown. Jonnu Smith, a former Patriots tight end, secured nine receptions for 87 yards and a score. De'Von Achane added two touchdowns, including a spectacular nine-yard catch-and-run that highlighted Miami's offensive firepower.
The Patriots struggled mightily, managing only 14 first downs in the game. They were outgained 374-267 and committed 10 penalties for 75 yards. Patriots QB Drake Maye finished with 221 yards, one touchdown, and an interception.
Miami's second quarter was particularly dominant. The Dolphins scored 24 points and racked up 209 yards, while the Patriots managed -11 yards in the same period.
Hill's redemption opportunity
Tyreek Hill's next chance to prove himself comes on Thanksgiving night at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. The game presents a critical moment to reassert his offensive dominance after a few sluggish performances from the star receiver.
Was Hill truly frustrated, or is this meme just playful banter?
