Tyreek Hill is known for his blazing speed, electrifying plays, and now, his sense of humor. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver has been at the center of a social media storm this week after the Indianapolis Colts’ controversial schedule release video poked fun at him. But instead of taking offense, Hill turned the moment into an opportunity to showcase his personality—and set the stage for what could be a statement game against the Colts.
The Controversy That Sparked It All
The Colts released their 2025 schedule announcement with a Minecraft-themed video that included a jab at Hill. In the clip, a cartoon version of Hill was shown swimming (a nod to dolphins) before being detained by the Coast Guard—a clear reference to his off-field incident prior to the 2024 season.
While some viewed the video as insensitive, the Colts quickly deleted it and issued an apology to both Microsoft (for copyright issues) and Hill himself. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Colts even reached out to Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, to express regret.
But here’s where things took a hilarious turn: Hill didn’t seem bothered at all. In fact, he defended the Colts on X (formerly Twitter), saying the joke was funny and they should’ve left it up.
“Should’ve left it up @Colts, this was funny 🤷🏾♂️,” Hill tweeted, showing his ability to laugh at himself.
He then followed up with a clever jab of his own, posting a screenshot mocking the Colts’ lackluster win total last season.
Hill Takes the High Ground—and the Last Laugh
What I love about Hill’s response is he didn’t get angry or let it get to him. He leaned into it and proved why he’s one of the most fun personalities in the NFL.
This diffused any tension and gave fans something to get behind. Now we all get to watch on Sunday with the Dolphins and Colts—especially since Hill’s probably gonna show Indy why messing with him might just come back to bite them on the field.
Chargers Join the Fun with Their Own Jab
It wasn’t just the Colts taking shots at the Dolphins this week. The Los Angeles Chargers got in on the action, too, with their Minecraft-inspired schedule release video.
The Chargers packed their video with Easter eggs referencing the Dolphins:
- A yacht named “Dan Marina” (a nod to Dan Marino).
- Dolphins players meeting with Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield, whom Hill recently said was one of his top 5 QBs—conveniently leaving out Tua Tagovailoa.
- Hill is running late to a meeting, referencing coach Mike McDaniel’s comments about fining players for being late last season.
- A re-creation of McDaniel’s Sunday Night Football interview, where he ran off the field mid-interview.
Even though these were all in good fun, it adds extra juice to the upcoming games between the Dolphins and their AFC rivals.
Hill’s Blueprint for Dominating the Colts
If there’s one thing we know about Tyreek Hill, it’s that he loves being under pressure—and sometimes a little controversy fuels his fire. With the Colts’ secondary struggling to keep up with elite receivers, he’s got all the ammo he needs to go off this week.
1. Speed Kills
Hill’s speed is a nightmare for the Colts. I know, I know, I said that already. But it’s true. Whether it’s deep routes down the sideline or quick slants that allow him to hit full speed, the Colts need to bring their A-game to slow him down.
2. Tua Chemistry
Hill left Tua Tagovailoa off his top 5 QB list. But their chemistry is still real. Expect Tua to look for Hill early and often, especially on plays designed to get the ball out of his hands and stretch the Colts’ secondary.
3. Revenge Factor
Hill laughed off the Colts’ video. But don’t be surprised if he uses it as motivation. Players like Hill love proving people wrong—and making headlines while doing so.
Why This Matters?
Beyond the jokes and jabs, this Week 1 game matters. For the Dolphins, it’s a chance to start the season 1-0 and shut up the haters who think they can’t compete in the AFC East. For the Colts, it’s an opportunity to be a contender—but stopping Tyreek Hill won’t be easy.
