Super Bowl Winner Tyreek Hill has never shied away from expressing himself. But lately, that expressiveness has been costing him on and off the field. Last week Cheetah and the Dolphins disposed of the New York Giants and once again this week against the Panthers.
Speedster WR for the Dolphins has been in top-notch form throughout the season with more than 650 yards ran and 6 TDs. His performances have led the team to the top of the AFC East table, but his antics lately have been costing him and his team. This time, it is a $10,000 fine that has found its way to Hill.

Last week Tyreek Hill broke the NFL’s taunting rule. The guideline prohibits “The use of baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams,” and that is exactly what the WR found himself in the middle of.
This happened as Cheetah was throwing peace signs with his fingers while going for a TD. He was fined more than $10, 000 for this celebration. Now, his latest actions have again become a source of discomfort for the footballer. However, this time, his team has been dragged into the fine as well.

According to the rulings of the arena, “Individual players are prohibited from using foreign objects or the football while celebrating.” This is another rule that the Super Bowl winner broke in his celebration after a TD against the Carolina Panthers.

This time, the 29-year-old snatched a phone from the sideline staff and recorded himself. He performed a back flip and then returned the phone. This resulted in a 15-yard penalty for the Dolphins. However, many onlookers found the penalty to be unnecessary including the account that posted the video by the name Warren Sharp.
He wrote, “They seriously gave Tyreek a taunting penalty for this???? the NFL remains a joke.” After going 0-14 in the first quarter, the Dolphins have wrestled the game back. The scores are currently settled at 42-21 with the Dolphins’ dominance clearly visible.
