Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, had some notable comments following the Chiefs’ victory over the Dolphins.
In a conversation with NFL media members in Germany, Hill expressed a message to Chiefs Kingdom and his social media followers. He hinted at a potential rematch with the Chiefs, acknowledging that the only way for this to happen is in the playoffs, making his statement quite audacious.
But Hill didn’t stop there; he shared his thoughts on what he sees as football’s new rivalry, describing it as a fun day to play football in a different location.
Tough one today against a good opponent, but we will see them again ✌🏿

Hill’s continuous dialogue, regardless of opinions about it, is benefiting Chiefs fans by reviving the spirit of rivalry football. It’s worth noting that the AFC West hasn’t been the most competitive division since Patrick Mahomes II was drafted in 2017. The Chiefs have consistently dominated the division, making Hill’s idea of rivalries more of a concept than a reality.
Although there is some animosity between Chiefs Kingdom and teams like the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers, they don’t quite fit the definition of “rivals” in the true sense. In recent years, Kansas City’s fiercest rivals have arguably been Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, with the Buffalo Bills also entering the conversation. Hill mentions Burrow’s success against Mahomes, which added an extra layer of competition.
No injuries and the Chiefs are 7-2 going into the bye week. 😁 https://t.co/ZzDyFlRAPo pic.twitter.com/7mVo1tyVEJ

The Chiefs, who typically host the AFC championship, have a strong tradition of reaching the conference’s final showdown. The No. 1 seed holds even more significance today because it guarantees a first-round bye, and Andy Reid has a strong track record after bye weeks. Despite facing offensive challenges in 2023, their 7-2 record is impressive heading into the Week 10 off week, and they are injury-free according to Coach Reid.
The Chiefs will return on November 20 for a Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Kansas City, marking the first meeting of the two franchises since the 2022-23 Super Bowl.
