Miami Dolphins

NFL UK posts and then deletes Tyreek Hill's backflip video that's most likely going to get him fined

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill earned himself a penalty for taunting after scoring on a 41 yard touchdown by grabbing a man’s phone and doing a backflip in the end zone. 

With the Dolphins tied at 14-14 with 1:54 left to go, Hill connected with Tua Tagovailoa on a deep throw for the touchdown and Hill ran directly to the man, who the video shows, was wearing official NFL production gear and perform the celebratory stunt. 

A video was posted on the NFL UK's X account, but was quickly erased.

The League will most likely fine Hill a significant amount for using a prop, as he was holding the phone while performing the backflip, which is probably why their UK account deleted the video so immediately after posting.

The celebration drew a taunting penalty from the officials and forced the Dolphins to take the extra point from 15 yards back. 

The Dolphins got off to a rough start allowing 14 unanswered points but three touchdown passes by Tua allowed Miami to climb back from a hole.
