Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill Sends Blunt Message on Brutal Loss to Colts
The NFL season is off and running, but there is no reason to celebrate in South Beach.
The Miami Dolphins were crushed 33-8 against Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, who nearly doubled Miami in total scrimmage yards.
Star receiver Tyreek Hill is not happy and was visibly frustrated during the game.
Postgame, he had a blunt message.
“This was a big kick in the balls for us,” Hill told reporters.
Tyreek Hill Visibly Frustrated on Miami Sideline
Hill, 31, had a team-high 40 receiving yards with four catches on Sunday.
In Week 18 last season, Hill pulled himself from the Dolphins’ lineup and hinted at wanting to move on, citing his belief that Miami wasn’t a true contender.
“This is the first time I haven’t been in the playoffs,” Hill told reporters in January. “I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family. If that’s here or wherever the case may be, I’m gonna open that door for myself. I’m opening the door. I’m out, bro.”
But headed into the season, Hill said he was content with his situation in Miami.
And still, that didn’t stop him from throwing a fit on the sidelines Sunday.
Sideline frustration is natural in the middle of a blowout, but Hill’s visible reactions to the Dolphins’ struggles will draw extra scrutiny—particularly if the team doesn’t turn things around soon.
Miserable Sunday of Injuries for the Dolphins
It was a miserable Sunday for the Dolphins on the injury front, as well.
They lost right guard James Daniels to a pectoral injury on its third offensive snap, while cornerback Storm Duck was carted to the locker room late in the first half with a left ankle injury. Neither returned.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards but threw two interceptions and lost a fumble on one of three sacks. The Dolphins managed just 78 rushing yards, while Hill and Jaylen Waddle were limited to eight catches for 70 yards combined.
Waddle appeared to injure his shoulder or arm during a reception Sunday. No official update has been provided by the Dolphins.
The Indianapolis Colts Provided the Surprise of the Day
The Colts couldn’t have had a better performance on the day Indianapolis recognized the contributions of team owner Jim Irsay, who died in May.

Jones, who attempts to lead the Colts at QB after years with the New York Giants, accounted for three touchdowns—two on the ground and one through the air. Jones completed 22 of 29 passes for 272 yards—including a career-best 197 in the first half—as Indy scored on all seven drives.
The Colts’ win snapped the NFL’s longest active opening-day drought at 11 games, giving them a 1-0 start for the first time since 2013.
New defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo made an impressive debut, with the Colts coming within six and a half minutes of securing their first shutout since December 2021.
Red Sox’ Aroldis Chapman on 3rd-longest streak of hitless domination since 1901
Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has been unstoppable on the mound against the Diamondbacks. His dominance is giving the Red Sox a crucial edge as the postseason race heats up. Aroldis Chapman’s hitless streak has now reached 17 straight appearances without allowing a hit. This marks one of the most remarkable pitching runs in recent MLB history.
Chapman’s hitless streak has also stretched to 14⅔ innings, dating back to July 26, and it now ranks as the third-longest since 1901. Only Randy Choate’s 20 straight appearances in 2011 and Tim Byrdak’s 18 consecutive outings in 2012 stand ahead of him.
As a result, Aroldis Chapman’s resurgence has been vital for the Red Sox bullpen. His command and velocity have returned to elite form, and his presence has transformed the dynamic of late-inning situations. Because of this, Boston can now rely on him to shut down opposing lineups when it matters most. Against teams like the Diamondbacks and other playoff contenders, his consistency has given the Red Sox the upper hand in tight games.
Furthermore, this run highlights Chapman’s ability to adapt. Known throughout his career for overpowering hitters, he has now added sharper pitch sequencing and better movement to his arsenal. Consequently, hitters are struggling to pick up his slider after seeing a triple-digit fastball, creating a nearly unhittable combination. With each outing, his confidence grows, and so does the team’s trust in him to deliver in critical spots.
Ultimately, the Red Sox remain locked in a fierce battle for postseason positioning, and Chapman’s dominance has provided a much-needed boost. If he maintains this pace, his historic run could play a pivotal role in Boston’s playoff push. For now, every appearance by Chapman feels like must-watch baseball. The only question left: how long can Aroldis Chapman keep this hitless streak alive and cement his place in MLB history?
And more importantly, can the Red Sox ride his dominance all the way into the postseason?
