The Miami Dolphins came out with a big win in their first game of the season, and it came in the form of a very impressive 36-34 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Four-time All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill played a huge role in the win in what turned out to be his best performance in a Maimi uniform.
After the game, the 29-year-old dropped a sweeping declaration that should put the rest of the league on notice.
Miami Dolphins Star Tyreek Hill Sounds Off on Eye-Opening Performance Vs. Chargers
After the game, Hill sounded off on his massive performance against the Chargers. While last year required a lot of adjustments from his end in what was his first season in Miami, Hill is now confident that things are going to be much different in Year 2:
“Oh man, everything was more fluid this year,” Hill said, via Myles Simmons of PFT. “Because last year, man, I was just banking on my speed and just banking on me just outrunning guys. But this year, I was in my bag a little bit more on release moves and routes at the top, stuff like that.
“… Last year, we ran the same exact route and I wasn’t open. But this year, it’s a whole lot different because I know how to run it and I know exactly how many steps I need to be at and stuff like that.
“So, yeah, everything was different. I’m not just counting on my speed. Obviously, after the catch, I am.”
Hill finished the game with 11 catches for 215 yards. The seven-time Pro Bowler scored two touchdowns on the day in what was truly an eye-opening performance. He left a big smile on the faces of Dolphins fans everywhere after this outing.

In true Tyreek Hill fashion, the one-time Super Bowl champ then dropped a strong message about being an unstoppable force in the NFL:
“I always feel like nobody can guard me,” Hill said. “As a competitor, I feel like if you ask anybody in our room, they’ll say the same thing — can’t nobody guard me or them. I just feel like, that’s just a competitive mindset. I want the ball — that sounds kind of like…crazy, you know?
“But, yeah, I just feel like can’t nobody guard me.”
If he keeps on playing like this, then we will all be forced to believe that Hill is actually on to something here.
