Tyreek Hill erupts on sideline during Dolphins’ ugly ‘Monday Night Football’ loss
NY Post
Tyreek Hill misses his quarterback and a functional offense.
The star Dolphins receiver had a meltdown on the sideline during the fourth quarter of a 31-12 home loss to the Titans on Monday night in a second straight putrid showing by the offense.
Cameras captured Hill talking passionately on the sideline behind coach Mike McDaniel late in the fourth quarter with the Dolphins (1-3) trailing by 16 points to the previously winless Titans.
Hill tallied four catches for 23 yards on seven targets Monday and has just seven catches for 63 yards and zero touchdowns over the last two games since the Dolphins lost Tua Tagovailoa to injured reserve following a scary concussion.
“I would expect him to be visibly upset at somebody,” McDaniel said after his team dropped its third straight game. “A lot of times guys can be yelling at – he’s a leader and he wanted to do everything that he could to make sure the result wasn’t that. Within the locker room, there’s a lot of guys challenging each other and we get an opportunity to see what we’re made of for sure.”
The Dolphins’ offense is one of the best in the NFL when it has Tagovailoa under center but the last two weeks with Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley running the show have not been pretty.
Here was Peter Laviolette following Thursday’s practice, six days before the season opener in Pittsburgh, discussing the impact of injuries that have sidelined Ryan Lindgren and Jimmy Vesey for “a few weeks” and now Artemi Panarin, “day-to-day” with a lower body issue he sustained in Tuesday’s match against AHL Utica.
