Hours after being briefly arrested and handcuffed by police, NFL pro Tyreek Hill scored a touchdown for the Miami Dolphins. In the 20:17 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars at the start of the season, he brought his team back into the game with an 80-yard touchdown. The Dolphins were 14 points behind early on, but in the end a 52-yard field goal made the difference.
Hills manager: “Completely unnecessary”
Hill’s journey to the stadium was eventful. Police briefly detained the 30-year-old wide receiver because he was involved in a traffic incident, the Dolphins said.
In a video posted on Platform X, Hill can be seen lying face down on the ground while four officers surround him, place his hands behind his back and appear to handcuff him. The incident reportedly took place outside Hard Rock Stadium, the home stadium of the Dolphins.
Hill’s manager Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN about the moving images of the arrest that were circulating: “This is crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it.” For him, the police’s actions were “completely unnecessary.” But the most important thing is “that Tyreek is OK, physically and mentally.”
Six field goals for Steelers kicker Boswell
With Justin Fields as quarterback, the Pittsburgh Steelers won 18:10 against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the team had to thank not the young playmaker, who now has the advantage in the duel with the injured Russell Wilson, but kicker Chris Boswell: He made six field goals and scored all of the visitors’ points.
In Caleb Williams’ NFL debut, the Chicago Bears celebrated a 24:17 win against the Tennessee Titans. However, the offense was only partially responsible for the success: the Bears defense scored two touchdowns and two field goals.
