Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins offense were rolling on Sunday against the Giants.
Just a minute into the second half, Hill broke free for a 69-yard touchdown that got the home crowd on its feet. After scoring his touchdown, Hill looked towards the stands and gestured with the ball, prompting several fans, one in particular, to eagerly ask for the souvenir.
But Hill wasn't looking to give the ball away to just any fan, he was apparently looking to get the ball to his mom, who was making her way down the stairs.
Hill eventually appeared to make his intent clear, but one fan still stuck out his hand to grab the ball out of the air. Thankfully for all involved, the crowd around him was quick to clarify the situation and ensure that Hill's mom got the ball.
Special credit to the fan in the teal hat who was immediately insistent on the ball's rightful owner.
Tyreek wanted his TD ball to go to his Mom... took a second, but she got it! 🧡

Given how the Dolphins offense is playing to start the year, chances are that fan will have another shot at getting his own touchdown ball some time soon.
