Tyreek Hill erupts on sideline during Dolphins ugly Monday Night Football loss

Tyreek Hill misses his quarterback and a functional offense.The star Dolphins receiver had a meltdown on the sideline during the fourth quarter of a 31-12 home loss to the Titans on Monday night in a second straight putrid showing by the offense.Cameras captured Hill talking passionately on the sideline behind coach Mike McDaniel late in the fourth quarter with the Dolphins (1-3) trailing by 16 points to the previously winless Titans.Hill tallied four catches for 23 yards on seven targets Monday and has just seven catches for 63 yards and zero touchdowns over the last two games since the Dolphins lost Tua Tagovailoa to injured reserve following a scary concussion.“I would expect him to be visibly upset at somebody,” McDaniel said after his team dropped its third straight game.
