Tyreek Hill’s first touchdown of the 2024 season came after a bizarre start to his Sunday.
The Miami Dolphins receiver was detained by police and handcuffed in front of fans entering the Hard Rock Stadium for what was called a “traffic incident.” So naturally, Hill debuted a handcuffs celebration after he broke loose for 80 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fortunately for Hill, his teammate Jaylen Waddle came over quickly with the “key” to free the receiver in the back of the end zone.
The 80-yard touchdown came at the perfect time for the Dolphins with the game starting to slip away. Facing a double-digit deficit, the Jaguars looked ready to add to their lead before Jevon Holland punched the ball out of Travis Etienne’s hands near the goal line.
Miami took advantage of the opportunity with the bomb to Hill that cut Jacksonville’s lead to three. It was Hill’s 23rd touchdown with the Dolphins.
