Tyreek: Chiefs will 'get this work' during revenge game in Germany

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said Sunday's game against his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, being in Frankfurt, Germany, won't affect his performance.

"Obviously, it would've been great to play in K.C., but it really doesn't matter where we play at, you feel me?" Hill said Thursday, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. "They're going to get this work wherever."

Hill added: "It is going to be trash talk, but it's going to be fun, though," he said. "It's going to be like, 'I want to see you do good, but we going to bust your ass at the same time, though.' It is going to be one of those things like backyard football with your brothers."

The NFL scheduled the Week 9 blockbuster in Frankfurt as part of its International Series.

Hill played his first six NFL seasons with the Chiefs and helped them win a Super Bowl title. He caught 479 passes for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns in 91 regular-season appearances with Kansas City while earning six Pro Bowl berths and three first-team All-Pro nods from 2016-21.

The 29-year-old, who leads the league with 1,014 receiving yards and eight TD receptions, knows what Miami's defense must do to stand any chance of stopping Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Co. on Sunday.

"What I've been telling the guys to do is just find Kelce," he said. "If you allow Kelce to get open, man, he's like the energy of that team. Although Pat is all-world, if he finds Kelce and Kelce just catches a 2-yard pass, he just somehow finds energy in that and gets that team going."

The Chiefs - who lifted another Lombardi Trophy in their first year without Hill last campaign - traded the speedster to the Dolphins during the 2022 offseason as part of a blockbuster move. Miami then made Hill the NFL's highest-paid receiver by signing him to a four-year, $120-million deal.

Along with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Hill is a major part of a Dolphins offense that leads the NFL in points and total yards, among other categories.

"He's a great player, that's the bottom line," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Hill on Wednesday, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. "You might slow him down, but he is going to make plays somewhere. That's what makes him the player he is. He's got speed, quickness, and he's smart."
