In the first quarter, the speedy wideout went into the locker room but came back and saw limited action. However, Chiefs fans (and NFL fans for that matter) aren’t happy that Hill’s seeing any action at all.
Hill was noticeably limping on the sloppy Denver turf. With many pointing out that the team shouldn’t risk losing one of their most potent weapons with the postseason right around the corner.
“The Chiefs’ handling of Tyreek Hill is incredibly bizarre,” tweeted NFL reporter Matt Verderame. Adding, “If he’s hurt, rest him. If he’s not, play him. Don’t play the middle.”

“Chiefs need to take Tyreek Hill off the field and put him in bubble wrap for the playoffs,” said Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star.

“Why is Andy Reid keeping [Hill] in the game?” asked NFL reporter Dov Kleiman. “He’s clearly banged up… why risk further injury to your top WR?”
