Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins played against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10 and desperately needed a win on a three-game losing streak.
Hill was questionable heading into this game due to a wrist injury. He was ultimately cleared to play and scored his first touchdown since Week 1. After scoring the touchdown, he also pulled off a WWE celebration, which left some fans on social media worried about him.
Fans React to Tyreek Hill’s TD Celebration
Hill scored the touchdown in the third quarter of the game to give Miami a 17-6 lead. Odell Beckham Jr. joined him in his celebration, which looked like Randy Orton’s RKO move.
While some fans were worried about the Dolphins’ stars’ health, others took subtle digs due to the team’s injury history this season. Here’s how they reacted:
yeah lets never do that one again

“Better not get injured off that.” wrote one fan.
“OBJ probably hurt again after that,” said another fan.
Took a wrestling bump on the torn wrist ligament 🤦 https://t.co/phTvn2I8NK

Beckham started the season on the injured reserve, which caused him to miss at least the first four games. He has been injury-prone later in his career, and the team’s fans didn’t want their star receivers to get hurt while doing a celebration.
Before the game against the Rams, the Dolphins were 2-6 and needed to go on a long winning streak to make the postseason. They have already played four games this season without Tua Tagovailoa due to concussion and needed all their stars to stay healthy for the rest of the campaign.
Hopefully, Hill and other Dolphins players will listen to their fans and avoid celebrations, which might result in a new injury or worsen the current ones they are dealing with.
Hill Has Had a Disappointing Season
Hill had 1,700+ receiving yards in each of his first two seasons since getting traded to the Dolphins. However, the story has been different this year.
Heading into Week 10, the Dolphins star had 34 receptions for 446 yards and just one touchdown on 56 targets. This season, Hill is averaging half the amount of receiving yards per game that he averaged last season, and he just scored his second touchdown of the year in Week 10. He has also caught a career-low of 60.7% of his targets, which is a concern.
It’s largely due to Tagovailoa missing four games, but the Dolphins offense hasn’t played well even with him on the field. Before the game against the Rams, Miami had the worst-scoring offense in the league, averaging just 15.5 points per game.
At the time of this writing, the AFC East team led by 20-12, and it will hope to seal the win against the Rams to build momentum for the remainder of the season.
