‘Embarrassed on National TV’ – Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Still Reeling From Super Bowl LV Loss to Buccaneers

For the current Kansas City Chiefs roster, Super Bowl LV will forever remain a nightmare. A blemish on what could’ve been a near-perfect season. All to be thwarted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tom Brady in his first season with the Bucs was on top form claiming the Super Bowl MVP award as the home team managed to trump the Chiefs 31-9. A remarkable achievement given the Chiefs’ scoring record. 

The Kanas City Chiefs are loaded with offensive talent. The trio of Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce is one of the most feared in the league.

Thus holding them to a single point was quite an effort. And all the more reason for the Chiefs to feel defeated. The 31-9 scoreline is still clearly living fresh in the minds of the certain Chiefs as was seen by Hill’s recent comments.

“I feel like we were kind of embarrassed on national TV during the biggest game, you know, in the last game of the year,” he said. 

But the defeat isn’t one to bog him down. The wide receiver said he’d been putting in the extra hours to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. 

“Man, you know what, man?” Hill said. “I’ve been grinding my tail off ever since that loss… We definitely don’t want to go down that route again. We’ll be back,” the 27-year-old wide receiver said.

Hill was phenomenal for the Chiefs in 2020. Earning his second All-Pro call-up, the wide receiver chipped in with the TDs whenever called upon.
