Tyreek Hill will return home defeated. Last time, he may not have got the chance to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at their home stadium. The game took place in Germany. But in the playoffs, the Chiefs were hosting the Miami Dolphins. He had the perfect opportunity to show what the Chiefs had lost by trading him away in 2022. But alas, his plan did not succeed.

The Chiefs and Dolphins played the 4th coldest game in NFL history as Kansas City witnessed a record-cold Saturday night. Was it the frigid cold temperatures that the Phins were not used to? Or was it their defense? A few reporters quizzed Hill after the game to get his reaction.

Tyreek Hill experienced the unexpected in -4° F Wild Card Saturday

Tyreek Hill took to the podium after the crushing 26-7 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium. The usual smile on his face was absent this time. “Definitely wasn’t expecting a first-round exit,” Hill said. This was the Dolphins’ second straight playoff appearance. It was also their second straight playoff defeat. However, is Tyreek one to wallow in self-pity? Not at all. He said that he was going to take the loss in stride.

Cheetah did not have an extraordinary time at his old home. He recorded five catches for 62 yards. He even caught a 53-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa. He raced past CB Trent McDuffie and ran into the endzone. Unfortunately, he was shut down for most of the game due to the Chiefs’ number 2 defense. So, what else went wrong for the Dolphins that resulted in their loss?

How did the Dolphins lose this game?

Tua Tagovailoa did not seem to be at his best as he just completed  50% of his passes. He recorded 171 yards for a touchdown and one interception. It seems what the critics had been saying about the Dolphins was true. They win easily against weak teams, but arguably struggle mightily against strong teams.
