The Bills strengthened their position in the AFC East after slaying one of the strongest title contenders, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 15. The 32-29 triumph assured the side of a playoff berth to hope for the ultimate Super Bowl win. Meanwhile, the Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill happened to be the one who benefited from the loss as the veteran just breached the 1500 passing yards mark.

Tyreek Hill has been unreal this season. Despite shifting his base to Miami, the Cheetah remained unfazed and showcased a similar performance to how he did in Kansas City. Although losing against the Bills turned out to be a heartbreak, the game became a turning point in Hill’s career.
He breached the 1500 mark and improved his chances to surpass the Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson’s NFL record. Meanwhile, this news spread like a wildfire, and Hill, who wasn’t aware initially, thanked everyone for the support and said,” I need more 10″.
I need more 10 ✌🏿 thank you lord for this moment I love you https://t.co/Ns6qENfMFb

During the 2012 season, Johnson posted a whopping 1964 receiving yards, coining his name in the record books. Although Cooper Kupp tried to supersede this mark last season, he could only rack up 1947 receiving yards. But this time, chances are quite high for Hill to make this happen, especially when few more games are left in the regular season.
While speaking to HoFer, Shannon Sharpe a few days ago, Tyreek Hill clarified his intentions for the upcoming games. He wants to go big and make an impact in his first season.
Not just breaking the NFL record happens to be his priority, but also reaching the 2000 mark remains his vision. “Bro, I’ma go here, and I’ma have the best year in my career,” Hill explained the incident, talking to HC Mike McDaniel ahead of the season.

“So when I got there, that’s what me and Coach McDaniel were talking about. He was like, ‘Bro, we’re gonna get 2,000, bro.’ That’s the first thing he said to me. I’m like, ‘Man, you must be reading my mind.’ I’m not one of them dudes to get paid and just shed a dime. I want to continue to get better,” he added.
