Has Patrick Mahomes been avoiding Tyreek Hill? In 2021, the two star players played beside each other. Then came the painful separation in early 2022. The Chiefs refused to extend Hill’s contract and decided to trade him. Where did he end up? The Miami Dolphins. And now that same Miami is going to come to Arrowhead on Saturday.
They had a battle earlier this season as well. But that was in Germany, and the Chiefs had beaten the Dolphins. But now, they’re coming with a vengeance. They want to right the wrong. Ahead of their first playoff game, Tyreek made some surprising revelations.
Tyreek Hill alleges being ghosted by Kelce

If you’ve followed Tyreek Hill for a while, you’d know that he loves trash talking. But this week has been surprisingly tranquil! A few reporters got hold of the “Cheetah” in a room, wearing a white vest, and fired off their questions. Had he maintained contact with Mahomes and Travis Kelce?
Tyreek Hill says he hasn’t texted Mahomes since KC “beat our ass.”
Also says Travis Kelce hasn’t texted him back. “He’s probably still on his Taylor Swift thing…those guys are too famous for me now.” pic.twitter.com/xDMXHDOLLO

He said that after the Chiefs “beat our a*s” in Germany, he restrained himself from texting Mahomes. What about Travis Kelce? He admitted he had texted Kelce. But what did he receive in response? Silence. He alleged that Kelce was too occupied with his beau. “He’s probably still on his Taylor Swift thing.”
We can’t say if he was joking or not, but he said, “Those guys are too famous for me now.” Is there a grain of truth in it? Has Mahomes been distancing himself from the Cheetah as well?
Tensions rising between Mahomes and Hill?
A couple of days ago, Mahomes was asked about Hill during a presser. He said, “I talk to him once in a while.” But the relationship is not as strong as before. The 2x Super Bowl winner also said that Hill has not dialed him up in the past week. Will they speak and wish each other luck? Doesn’t look like it, as he said, “But this week I won’t talk to him as much.”

It’s just not Mahomes and Hill’s relationship that has turned cold. It’s predicted that KC will be near freezing on game day. Kick-off is set to be at 7 p.m. And it’s predicted that the temperature could go down to -2 degrees. The Chiefs may be used to playing in harsh, cold weather. But can the Dolphins who are used to the warm climate of Hard Rock, manage to adapt? And will this be a crucial factor in the game?
