Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn’t hold back on his recent podcast, “It Needed To Be Said,” when he talked about the Chiefs’ recent game against the Jets.
According to Hill, the Chiefs had some help from the referees, just like they did in the Super Bowl against the Eagles.
On Sunday Night, the Jets, led by rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, came close to pulling off an upset against the reigning Super Bowl champions.
However, a late-game holding penalty on Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner on a crucial 3rd and 20 play gave the Chiefs a fresh set of downs and essentially sealed the game in their favor.
Interestingly, Taylor Swift was also in attendance, supposedly to support rumored Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Hill expressed his thoughts on the officiating, saying, “It was a 50/50 call, but when the game is on the line, you gotta let the players play.”
He didn’t stop there, adding, “The Chiefs, they got saved like that last year for real though, against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, if we’re being honest.”

And then, in a lighthearted tone, Hill jokingly hinted at Kelce’s involvement, saying, “Then they come back and get saved in the Jets game. Maybe because Taylor Swift was in the building. I don’t know what’s going on… hey! Whatever Kelce is doing, I know you’re helping out the NFL.”
Chiefs fans probably won’t like hearing their former star wide receiver Hill say this one, but he must believe it
