Tyreek Hill is known for scoring touchdowns on big plays in the passing game. On Sunday Night Football, he came up with a surprise score that could go down as one of the wildest touchdowns of the NFL season.
Facing a 2nd-and-3 play from around midfield, the Miami Dolphins dialed up a run play to Jeff Wilson Jr. Wilson fumbled shortly after picking up the first down, and that is when the chaos ensued.
A scrum ensued for the fumble, and it initially looked like the ball would be recovered under the heap. Then, the ball bounced out with Hill scooping up the ball alertly.
With everyone caught off guard, Hill raced around the edge and all the way to the end zone leaving the broadcast crew flabbergasted at the play.
What… just… happened 😳 @cheetah

Definitely a heads-up play for Hill and a wild sequence for the Dolphins.
