‘Grinding my tail off’ - Tyreek Hill desperate for Super Bowl redemption
Chiefs star wideout Tyreek Hill is still feeling the effects of Kansas City’s demoralizing Super Bowl loss to Tom Brady and the Bucs in February.
The three-time All-Pro struggled to impact the game in a way similar to his performance against San Francisco a year earlier. Hill managed 7 catches for 73 yards. Critically, his longest reception was 23 yards — 21 yards short of the famous Jet Chip Wasp play in Super Bowl LIV.
“Man, you know what, man?” Hill said to TMZ recently.
“I’ve been grinding my tail off ever since that loss. . . . I feel like we was kind of embarrassed on national TV during the biggest game, you know, in the last game of the year.”
After reaching the promise land just two years ago, Hill wants to return to the feeling of euphoria and abolish the anguish of a Super Bowl loss.
“We definitely don’t want to go down that route again,” he said. “We’ll be back.”
Most don’t doubt it one bit. The AFC West is the Chiefs to lose, even if Jon Elway manages to lure another all-time great quarterback to Mile High. We’re looking at you Aaron Rodgers.
