Chiefs 21, Dolphins 14
Q. Tyreek, ultimately how did it feel seeing that former team on the opposite sideline today?
TYREEK HILL: It was fine. I had a lot of fun today, man. That's what football is about. I feel like this is football's new rivalry, so it was a fun day to play football in a different location. Had a blast.
Q. You made a lot of key catches, but there was a fumble and also a couple crucial drops --
TYREEK HILL: Yeah, I think I played overall pretty well. Some tight window throws, and those guys did a great job of making it hard on me all day. They did a great job. They had a real good plan on slowing us down at the line of scrimmage.
It's on me to make plays. That's why they brought me here, to make plays in these type of games.
I feel like the way the game went, it was a team game, and our defense played amazing. As a receiver, I never think about how many drops I got in a game. I'm always thinking about the next play, baby. That's how I became who I am today.
Everybody drops passes. It happens. But it's all about how you move on to the next play. I've got to learn from it, go to the film room, learn from it, and find better ways to get open.
Q. On the fumble, did you think that the play was over? Were you fighting for more yards? What happened from your perspective?
TYREEK HILL: No, so they played two-man coverage, and there was a guy that was unblocked, and he came free as soon as I caught it, and I didn't even get a chance to make a move. That's the explanation I've got for you. They did a good job.
Q. I know that Mike and you guys don't want to make too much about (indiscernible), especially against a team such as this. Do you feel like it was a missed opportunity (indiscernible) headed into the bye week?
TYREEK HILL: Oh, yeah, for sure, against the Super Bowl champions. We do believe that every game is a missed opportunity if we lose, man. It's our job to come out here and win these games, especially the way that our defense played today. Those guys played tremendous.
If we want to say that we're the No. 1 offense in the league, we've got to be able to make plays when it counts.
Q. What would you attribute to the issues of the offense when you're not home? It seems like whenever you guys are away from Hard Rock --
TYREEK HILL: You know what, man, at this point it's ourselves versus ourselves. You feel me? We had a lot of penalties that shot ourselves in the foot. The early one when Jaylen Waddle had a catch, the penalty was on me and Ced. They called illegal formation.
We would make a play, and it would get called back.
We've got to be able to find ways to not shoot ourselves in the foot, because as you see, we can play with any team in this league. It's all about not making mistakes and being able to stay on time with the quarterback, obviously, and protect our quarterback.
If we do all of that, no pre-snap penalties, obviously, we'll be fine.
Q. You didn't pull off the comeback, but you did get some scores after half. What was the mindset at that time?
TYREEK HILL: The mindset was obviously to come back. The defense was the engine today. Those guys had us fired up. When we were able to find a spark somewhere, because we was kind of flat on offense, we began to get it going.
It was kind of a glimpse of what we could have been in the first half.
